        <![CDATA[The captions on the photos are at best misleading and at worst actively wrong - see below for a howler:<br />
<br />
&quot;The Navy used Hellcats between 1943 and 1946 before phasing them out after the peak of the war&quot;. That phrase at best is poorly worded, at wost implies the peak of the war was 1946. If I had to describe an event as the peak of the Pacific war, I would have used Midway, and the use was phased *in* during 1943 (which can at least be plausibly argued as the peak of the war).<br />
