Was looking at a photo on an unnamed flattop Oct 27, 1944.
18 parked TBMs, all wings folded, 2 being armed, looks like
one with iron bomb and one with torpedo. The total crew pushing
the ordnance wagons into place is 6, i see one pilot in a cockpit,
and counted 72 total people on this rear section of the deck, 
maybe 1/6 or 1/8 of the total deck, including watchers and
chatters. Interesting goings-on; i'd have been up there too,
gawking. -Hue K7HUE
