Description

Three U.S. Navy Douglas AD-4 Skyraider from Fighter Squadron 54 (VF-54) "Hell's Angels" in flight. As the aircraft are fully armed and fly over what appears to be Korea, the photo was probably taken during the deployment with Carrier Air Group 5 (CVG-5) from 20 November 1952 to 25 June 1953 aboard the aircraft carrier USS Valley Forge (CVA-45).

The photo appeared in the 1954 cruise book, when VF-54 was deployed with CVG-5 aboard USS Philippine Sea (CVA-47) to the Western Pacific from 12 March to 19 November 1954.
