USS Essex Delivers Warbirds to Hawaii for 75th Anniversary of End of WW II

From August 11, 2020, Drive  "Amphibious assault ship USS Essex carries load of gorgeous World War II warbirds to Hawaii" by Joseph Trevithick.

The U.S. Navy's Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex recently served as a transport ship, bringing  a load of WW II-era warbirds to Hawaii.  Included were  a P-51 Mustang fighter,  and a B-25 Mitchell bomber.  They are to take part in the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II on Friday, August 14.

There were other planes as well, such as two Catalina flying boats, an F8F Bearcat fighter, an FM2 Wildcat  fighter, two Texas  trainers and a Boeing -Stearman PT-17  biplane.

There were a real lot of photos of them moving the planes off the ship.  Go to the site and check them out.

Hopefully the Planes Will Remain for the 75th Official Anniversary of the End of the War with the Signing of the Japanese Surrender on the USS Missouri.   --GreGen
