This group of original black and white photos of United States Navy Fighter planes was taken in and around the South Pacific Marshall Islands in 1943 and 1944. These were some of the planes that my Dad, Rip Smock worked on as a Naval Aviation Electrician. It was common during World War 2 for aircrews to decorate their planes with pictures or drawings.
