Re: Photo FAA Aircraft
According to A-B FAA Squadron book the carrier was ex USS Bolinas (CVE-36)
transferred under lend-lease to RN and commissioned in Aug 1943.
It was returned to USA in Jan 1946
Only unit seems to have been 832Sq which was onboard from May 1944 to Feb 1945 (a bit odd if it was returned to USA during Jan, but that is what the book says. However Feb 1945 seems to be the disbandment month, see below)
Checking 832 Sq details it then says the unit was onboard between 23.7.1944 - 15.1.1945 and disbanded 21.2.1945
The code system used by the FAA is a jungle, and the use of 4 for example as a unit designator was used by 26 different Squadrons....
Cheers
