Re: FM2 Wildcat Carrier (CVE) marking
Both VC88 and 99 used 2 lightning bolts on HOGGATT BAY; VC88's were small and put the number above the marking, used on HB to March 1945 then by SAGINAW BAY from March (marked as in Rolland's photo). On the left side they went bottom left to top right.
VC99 on HB had larger lightning bolts , on left side top left to bottom right, the number below (as in KAKI's profile); VC99 was on HB after April, replacing VC88.
