WWII Video "Return of the Fighting Lady"

This footage was taken by LT Maury Proctor of Air Group 88 aboard the USS Yorktown (CV-10) during WWII.  Copies of the film were later given to members of VF-88 during a reunion.  One of the reunion attendees, Bill Watkinson donated his copy to the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum.  That copy has been digitized and posted here on YouTube.  

The USS Yorktown is now a museum ship at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum on Charleston Harbor, S.C.  The museum is also home of the USS Laffey DD-724 and USS Clamagore SS-343.   WWII veteran and member of VF-88, Bill Watkinson donated his copy of the "Return of the Fighting Lady" to the museum.  

Patriots Point is located at 40 Patriots Point Rd. in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.  It is open every day from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.  For more information visit www.patriotspoint.org
