Pilots, crew and 19 Wildcats were transferred from VF-3 to VF-2 during March of 1942. That explains why the Felix the cat logo is seen on a VF-2 aircraft. The four flags are puzzling, as there wasn't a VF-2 pilot with that number of victories. The only one close was Lt. Noel Gayler with three victories (two solo, two shared), but did have claims on May 8th which brought him to five. He's the likely pilot as he was with the Lex when it went down.
