On the flight deck of USS Saratoga (CV-3). Nov 1943.
Was just looking at the above photo of the Yorktown catapulting the Hellcat on its way and the thought occurred to me "Uh, why?'
I mean why would that be a thing? Isn't there a big, flat space on top to launch aircraft?
Seems a little odd to me and have not seen this before.
