This is another of the super dioramas to be seen at the National Naval Aviation Museum and depicts 'Minsi III' (one of the aircraft in which Cdr. David McCampbell achieved 34 kills, the Navy's highest scoring fighter ace) being worked on by her ground crew on the lower deck of a carrier. In reality this a/c was delivered in July 45 and became N7865C after the war before being acquired by the museum in 1971. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
