    Tokyo Bay at the end of WW2. This photo is all over the Internet. bejohngalt.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/1945.jpg

    I agree. Tokyo Harbor. Looks like an Iowa Class Battleship in the foreground. That might be a CVE on the horizon forward of the BB and aft of the Tin Can(s)

USS Missouri (BB-63), where the ceremonies took place, is at left. USS Detroit (CL-8) is in the right distance. Aircraft include TBM, F6F, SB2C and F4U types.

    Snap! (well almost!) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/18059458 So it must have been Friday 30 January 1948.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I have no idea about the planes, but the RAAF bombed the VALLEY FORGE the following week - Read All About It - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49644119 . Mention of Mustangs in the article, but they might have been Australian.

    The SB2C-5 is a brutish looking plane, it finally had the performance to match its looks!
