Thanks again Ray and for starters, here's a nice find on Paul. D Buie, the flight "Cmdr" in the photo:
Lieutenant Commander Paul D. Buie, commander of Lexington's VF- 16, heard one of his pilots exclaim: 'Why, hell it was just like an old-time turkey shoot down home!"The phrase speedily bounced from ship to ship until most officers and men were speaking of the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.

 

thanks for follow up bob, appreciated, ray..

 

thankyou jeff...appreciated..

 

Update regarding carrier pilot group photo above:
Jubilant pilots after victory in the Marshall Islands. Photo taken by Edward Steichen, November 1943.
80-G-44598
On November 23, 1943, twelve Navy Pilots flying HELLCAT fighters from a new first-line carrier in the Marshall
Islands area intercepted 20 to 24 Jap Zeroes heading for Tarawa. The Japanese were out to aid their
hard-pressed garrison on Tarawa, then under a withering attack by U.S. Marines and Navy carrier task forces.
But they never arrived. In a swift and vicious action, the Navy HELLCAT flier shot down 17 zeroes and probably
got 3 more without losing a man.
This perfect score was further highlighted by the feat of Lt. (jg) Eugene B. Hanks of Gibbs, Ohio. In this,
his first encounter with the enemy, the young Navy flier shot down five Zeroes, and thereby became an ace, in
less than five minutes. Lt. Commander Paul D. Buie, USN, of Nashville, Georgia, the squadron commander, led
the fight.
