Spitfire Mk.Vc, BR311 flown by Roderick Smith of Regina, Saskatchewan

Spitfire Mk.Vc, BR126 flown by Roderick's brother Jerry Smith from USS Wasp as part of Operation Bowery. 

Jerry Smith is widely considered to be the first pilot to land a Spitfire on an aircraft carrier after he had to return to Wasp owing to a issue with the plane's fuel system.  Jerry was brought on deck by David McCampbell, then the Landing Signals Officer aboard Wasp.  McCampbell would go on to become the highest scoring USN pilot, flying F6F Hellcats in the Pacific.
