| These slides are from a View-Master 3 reel series titled "Aircraft Carrier in action at Sea. The inside story of one of the Navy's floating air bases." The carrier is, of course, the USS Oriskany. These reels were produced in 1956. I've left the images at a smaller size since I scanned them from such small slides. |
