Markings of the US Navy

Markings Seen On Escort Carriers A - M

This part shows the evolution of markings seen on individual carriers (excluding cases in which only plain numbers were carried). As can bee seen in quite a few cases there wasn't just one marking seen on a certain carrier.

Actual photos were used to make the  following paintings as accurate as possible.

Profiles copyright Wilfried Eck and Srecko Bradic.

Captions as follows: Type of aircraft, unit resp. carrier (before or after standardization), time of use (day/month/year).

Rembember: Before June 2nd 1945 aircraft markings were definitely not carrier markings but inventions of individual squadrons instead.

"AG" = Air Group, "VC" = Composite Squadron, "MCVG" = Marine Carrier Air Group
