Summary
| Description |
English: U.S. Navy Curtiss SB2C-1 Helldiver bombers Bombing Squadron Five (VB-5) pictured on the flight deck aboard the ciarctaft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10). VB-5 went aboard Yorktown during May-June 1943 to participate in the ship's shakedown cruise. The results were disastrous, for the squadron's SB2C Helldivers suffered numerous mechanical difficulties, not the least of which was the propensity for the aircrafts' tailhooks to pull out of their wells during recovery aboard the ship. Yorktown´s skipper, Capt. Joseph C. Jocko Clark, became so irate that he had them replaced with Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless dive-bombers, which VB-5 eventually took into combat. |

UNMA photos are US Government photos. This is not exactly the same photo, but it seems quite likely that it was taken by the same USN photographer.) |
