USS Philippine Sea (CV-47)


Flight deck scene, looking aft from the island, as the carrier is enveloped in a snowstorm off the Korean coast, 15 November 1950.
Planes on deck include Vought F4U-4B "Corsair" fighters and Douglas AD "Skyraider" attack planes.
Note men on deck, apparently tossing snowballs, and what may be a toppled snowman just in front of the midships elevator.
