- The article has been expanded by more than five times and the hook checks out (AGF for the offline source), but the image used in the hook doesn't have a clear source - can you provide a web link or catalog number for this photo to establish its out of copyright?

- I cannot find anything... It's hard to imagine anyone but a navy photographer taking a wartime picture on the ship. It seems to be a Navy publicity photograph. I found a lot of copies around. The national WWII museum used it in the oral history video, and Tailhook used it frequently. Jig Dog seems to have had a pile of copies which he gave away, so you find lots of signed ones out there.

- If it was taken by a friend while off duty (as is quite possible, though I agree that this looks more like an official PR-type photo) it wouldn't be PD US-GOV. Given the sensitivities around DYK at present I don't think that the photo can be given the OK to appear on the front page until we're confident its PD. Nick-D (talk) 07:36, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
