October 1943
Deck crew spot-checking Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless dive bombers of bombing squadron VB-12 on the flight deck of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV-3)
OPERATION SHOESTRING 2
After participating in combined fleet exercises off Espiritu Santo between the 7th and 10th of October 1943, VF-12, now part of
Carrier Air Group 12, departed Espiritu Santo aboard the USS Saratoga (CV-3) on October 31,1943; along with Air Group
23 aboard the USS Princeton (CVL-23), to form backbone of TaskForce 38. Here USS Saratoga is underway off Espiritu Santo in October 1943.
As part of Operation Shoestring 2, Task Force 38 was assigned to raid the Japanese airfields on Buka and Bonis Islands off the northern tip of Bougainville, in order to cover the landings being made at Cape Torokina and Empress Augusta Bay. For the first two days in November 1943, the Saratoga, and Princeton made
vicious assaults on the Buka and Bonis Islands airfields, approaching so close to shore (13 miles south east of the islands (06* 25’ S 154* 53’ E) that the twin fields were almost visible from the ships. (vbf-12.com)

It’s not great, but I kind of like it.
It’s giving “Strangers in the Night” vibes. 😂
