Famous WW2 Quote
"All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us... they can't get away this time."Lt. Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, at Guadalcanal

The tail marking on the Hellcat indicate VF-5 from USS Yorktown (Essex-class) and the red border around the National Insignia indicates pre 14-Sep-1943. These two markings combined mean the plane is marked to represent a fighter that participated in the Marcus Island Raid of 31-Aug-1943.
