Tractor tows F9F Panthers, USS Valley Forge (CV-45)

Here we see a group of flight deck tractors towing Grumman F9F Panthers into place on the deck of the Essex class carrier USS Valley Forge (CV-45) in July 1950, ready for them to attack targets in North Korea. This dates it to either 3-4 July or 18-19 July, when the Valley Forge carried out suitable airstrikes.
