Loading Rockets Men from Ordnance Section of Marine Service Squadron 33 loading air to ground rockets onto plane. Curator's Note: The WH tail code and the 80555 Serial Number shown indicates this to be a twin engined F7F-3N Tigercat of the nightfighting Marine Squadron VMF(AW)-542 "Flying Tigers" which deployed into Kimpo in September 1950. However the air intake on the leading edge of the wing has me puzzled, I do not find it in any photo of a F7F I have seen.
