One of the photographs here clearly shows a Hellcat with invasion stripes,
although the carrier was engaged on Operation DRAGOON at the time.


The presence of invasion stripes does not indicate an aircraft participated
in the D-Day landings, it just indicates it operated over western Europe on
June 6 1944 or later.
