Yep.. got that link there are some cracking pics on the site..
As good as these pictures are, I can't help being saddened looking at the pilots and crews there, thinking most of those guys would have been killed at Midway..

I believe that the pictures feature Torpedo Squadron 6, operating off of the USS Enterprise, circa 1940 or early 1941. The airplanes are TBD Devastators and Curtiss Helldivers.

So the deck crew probably (mostly) survived the war - assuming they stayed on the Enterprise. The aircrew of VT-6 mostly got shot down at Midway, although they weren't mauled as badly as the infamously unfortunate VT-7, which flew off of the USS Hornet.

Very nice find of early color pictures. Very useful should someone want to do a mod involving the US aircraft carriers.
