Thanks Ed.
George----this must be Air Group 93 ? before the designator was changed to "ZZ" ( 27th July officially CTF/F39). On the 28th BOXER was in the Canal Zone (with ANTIETAM) all 4 types are in Ed's photos, F6F-5s, F4U-4s, SB2C-5s, TBM-3s.

Yes, that's right. On 26th July Air Group 93 made a mock attack on the Canal defences and on the 28th Boxer passed through en route San Francisco.

Thanks for that George.
On the subject of BOXER have you seen these tail markings? I don't think they are Air Group symbols for her as they are documented (nor any others).
Maybe temporary when training. 21 is on the island so presumably post-August.

Hi George. These are some sketched I did for IPMS magazine in 1968, things have improved somewhat since then.
