| Description |
English: View of the flight deck of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Lexington (CV-2), at about 1500 hrs on 8 May 1942, during the Battle of the Coral Sea. The ship's air group is spotted aft, with Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat fighters nearest the camera. Douglas SBD Dauntless scout bombers and Douglas TBD-1 Devastator torpedo planes are parked further aft. Smoke is rising around the after aircraft elevator from fires burning in the hangar. Note fire hose, wheels, propellers, servicing stands and other gear scattered on the flight deck. |
