Navy scout seaplane, the SC-1 “Seahawk”. Pilot sits in a nearly designed type of “Green House” or cockpit, more streamlined into the contour of the seaplane. As the mighty engine “revs up,” the plane skims along the water for take-off, 15 June 1945. Of note, the first operational aircraft were assigned to USS Guam (CB 2) in October 1944. 80-G-47759
