Douglas TBD-1 torpedo plane


Landing on board USS Enterprise (CV-6), in about July 1941.
Note landing signal officer is in the foreground, and plane guard destroyers in the center distance.
The original photo caption gives a date of 8 April 1942, which is highly improbable as the plane is in mid-1941 vintage overall gray paint and the destroyers are wearing peacetime light gray paint.
