Summary[edit]

Description
English: A photograph showing the bombing of a bridge in Korea, in November 1952. A U.S. Navy Grumman F9F-2 Panther of Fighter Squadron 71 (VF-71), piloted by Lt. R.P. Yeatman, has fired the HVAR rockets under the wings (hence the smoke) and already dropped the left 113 kg (250 lb) bomb. The bomb under the right wing is just coming off. VF-71 was assigned to Carrier Air Group Seven (CVG-7) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) for a deployment to Korea from 20 May 1952 to 8 January 1953. VF-71 had the tail code "L-1XX" during that deployment.
