USS Yorktown mural

[eveled]

This mural is on the wall of the hanger bay painted by a crew member. 42 feet long. Nobody has seen it since WW2.

Impressive, to say the least. Took some real talent to do that one. Any info on the crew member?

That’s fantastic! Amazed it looks so good. God Bless America and crew of Yorktown. Here’s the story that goes along with the pic.

Apparently not. Said there was no signature and they heard about it, but there were never and photos of it. So they weren't sure if it existed.

Great link. But what a rabbit hole it has sent me down.
