Summary

[edit]
Description A U.S. Navy Douglas AD-6 Skyraider (BuNo 134598) from Attack Squadron VA-104 Hell's Archers on the elevator of an aircraft carrier. Although the photo appeared in the 1959 cruise book of the aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CVA-61) in the Western Pacific, VA-104 had been an Atlantic Fleet squadron assigned to Carrier Air Group 10 (CVG-10), tail code "AK", while CVG-14, tail code "NK", was assigned to the Ranger. VA-104 made two deployments to the Mediterranean Sea in 1958-59 aboard the USS Forrestal (CVA-59) before being disestablished on 31 March 1959.
