Beskrivelse

A British Supermarine Spitfire fighter receives maintenance from mechanics of U.S. Navy Cruiser Scouting Squadron Seven (VCS-7), which used these planes to spot Naval gunfire during the June 1944 Normandy invasion. Men present are (from left to right): James J. O'Connor; C.N. Pfanenstiel; Chief Aviation Machinist's Mate V.G. Disa; Aviation Machinist's Mate Third Class R.P. Theirauld; and Edmund Pachgio.

VCS-7 switched from their usual Curtiss SOC Seagull floatplanes to British Supermarine Spitfire fighters - given the paper designation "FS-1" by the U.S. Navy - during the Normandy operation. VCS-7 was based at Royal Naval Air Station Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire (UK), and drew planes from a pool of Supermarine Spitfire of Seafire fighters. The squadron flew a total of 191 sorties between 6 and 25 June 1944, losing one aircraft to ground fire. The "kill" marking below the cockpit was applied by a previous user.
