Re: VF-18 Hellcats Battle of Leyte Gulf

Not sure if this is the one photo you've found, but Osprey's Hellcat Aces of World War 2 has a photo on page 56 of "31" in a tri-color scheme aboard Intrepid 29 Oct 1944. In addition to the number, the tail carries VF-18's + symbol. Also, there is an illustrated history of the Intrepid - I don't remember the title, but it used to be sold at the Intrepid gift shop in NYC - that might have photos of Hellcats during that tour.
