| Description |
English: A U.S. Navy Vought OS2U-3 Kingfisher is recovered by the heavy cruiser USS Baltimore (CA-68) after she had rescued Lieutenant (JG) George M. Blair from Truk Lagoon, 18 February 1944. The plane's pilot was Lieutenant (JG) Denver F. Baxter. His radioman, ARMC Reuben F. Hickman, is on the wing, preparing to attach the plane so it can be hoisted on board. Blair's Grumman F6F Hellcat of Fighting Squadron 9 (VF-9), from the aircraft carrier USS Essex (CV-9), had been shot down during the dawn fighter sweep over Truk. |
