Never meant to imply that TBF/Ms or F6Fs (or any other Navy type) operated solely off the big sticks. Simply that all aircraft depicted operated off Enterprise while she wore her blue warpaint. As it happens, I've been brushing up on my WWII CVs of all sides and sizes for a good couple of years now as I've been simultaneously building heavily kitbashed navies in 1/2400 and working up rules to justify my obsession. I've yet to find either rules or models that completely satisfy me. Particularly at the Midway+ scale I'd like. I'm always happy to learn something new about WWII carriers.

That's why I wish I knew where to find the rest of that film. It's remarkably good source material. And darned pretty to boot. (I've always had a special softspot for CV-6. Annoys me to no end that many people think of other vessels by the same name first. Though I'll make exception for current or recent Navy personel if they happen to think of CVN-65.) So if you have any interest in discussing carriers or recommending primary source materials, bring it on. There's a world of information out there I've not found yet. And some of it might even help.
