Default Pics of USS Enterprise elevator...

Does anyone happen to know if there are, and where I could find, some pictures of the USS Enterprise with a deckfull of planes trying to take off or land on the deck when the elevator was stuck in a down position?

Navsource didn't have it. Have you trolled through Hazegray and Underway?

I've not seen a pic that fits that description.

Thanks Jeff. To be honest I don't know if any even exist. I do know that for a short while the Enterprise was the only CV the US had in the Pacific and for a time due to bomb damage the elevator was stuck in the down position. The flight deck only got smaller as more planes landed before they could be taken to the hanger. I just think it would be a very powerful photograph to see planes taking off and landing with a huge hole in the deck.
