Douglas SBD Dauntless, Aircraft 11 of Bombing 8 aboard the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8) being manhandled across the carrier's flight-deck. Note the mixture of old-style and new-style helmets at this stage of the war, and the freshly painted white star on the Dauntless, now with no trace at all or any hint of the "red meatball," illustrating the dominance of the rising sun marking in the spring of 1942.
