Gift of Anne and Jack Kelsey
Description: 

The American flag flies above the rear deck of an aircraft carrier with the Grumman TBF/TBM Avenger onboard and a plane guard destroyer following the carrier probably in the Pacific. 'Old Glory-Proudly unfurling before a stiff breeze, the National Colors float out over the deck of a U. S. aircraft carrier to present this striking picture. A watchful destroyer follows the curving wake of the big carrier while two of its warbirds patrol the skies." 23 November 1943
