USN F4F Wildcats and TBF Avengers on the deck of HMS Victorious (R38)
This photo:
Features Victorious, one of perhaps the most beautiful class of aircraft carriers ever constructed
Allied interoperability - US aircraft operating from a British ship alongside British aircraft
Allied interoperability II - British ship refuelling from a US tanker
On 12 July Victorious replenished under way from the USN tankers Cimarron and Kaskaskia, taking on 3,270 tons of furnace fuel oil, 30,283 gallons of avgas, 625 gallons of lubricating oil and 20 gallons of ice cream. On 20 July, however, she ran out of potatoes and 800lb of dried potato powder were flown from Saratoga in an Avenger dubbed the ‘Spud Express’, which also brought a Chief Commissary Steward who demonstrated to the RN chefs how he considered the powder should be reconstituted with water to make four tons of ‘perfect’ mashed potato

France:
Aircraft taking off from aircraft carrier Bearn, commissioned in 1927, she sat out most of WW2 in the French West Indies. colourised by Irootoko Jr.
The ship's pilots took part in the last ditch attempt to slow down German columns during the Fall of France in dive bombing operations.
Flying their carrier-borne aircrafts they suffered significant losses against the Luftwaffe, so much that at the end, only the fighter squadron (which were equipped with more modern planes during the battle) remained untouched and was relocated in North Africa.
