U.S. Navy Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat fighters and two Grumman TBF-1 Avenger torpedo bombers on the light aircraft carrier USS Independence (CVL-22) in 1943. Note that the F6Fs are in various states of repainting, as the omission of the right wing star and the addition of two white bars to the stars on the left wings and fuselage was ordered in June 1943. These had a red border which was changed to blue in August 1943.
