Fighter jet planes

This was taken in 1955 when the flight deck was covered in Teak wood. The heavier planes started to tear up the Teak upon landing. It was replaced with steel in 1966

Great historic photo. I never knew that about the decks. Or that the wings could fold up.

I didn't realize the decks had been made of Teak. Love the shadows in this cool shot.
