1/520 USS Yorktown (Lindberg)
1/520 USS Yorktown (Lindberg)
Patrick built this ship in honor of his (late) uncle John Willis who flew Hellcats from Yorktown during the war (VF88). The details of the carrier aircraft markings came from him. John Willis is the pilot at the lower right in VF-88's ready room with his CO Malcolm Cagle, who later became an Admiral. The picture is from my uncle's Yorktown cruise book that I now have.
