Re: USS Ranger air wing camo scheme during and prior to Op. Leader, September/October 1943
VT-4, equipped with the TBF-1, had operated from Ranger since January 1943and so it is not correct to say that it was aboard for Operation Leader only.
The TBF-1s were received in July 1942, replacing Douglas TBDs, and ten aircraft were aboard for Leader.
