Description: 2 Texture sets for the RAZBAM AD-5W Skyraider, representing planes from VAW-12 Detachment 37 Bats Early Warning Squadron during the Mediterranean Cruise of CVA-42 Franklin D. Roosevelt with the CVG-17 and the Sixth Fleet. The cruise started on 7/12/1957 and returned to Mayport, Florida on 3/5/1958

This set is part of a group of 8 sets of textures representing all the squadrons that were on board for this cruise.

Air Group CVG-17:

100 VF-171 Aces F2H-3 Banshee
200 VF-74 Be-Devilers F4D-1 Skyray
300 VAH-3 Sea Dragons A3D-1 Skywarrior
400 VA-175 Devil's Diplomats AD-6 Skyraider
601-604 VFP-62 Fighting Photos F2H-3P Banshee
701-703 VA AW-33 DET. 37 Nighthawks AD-5N
80x VAW-12 DET. 37 Bats AD-5W Skyraider
(HU)xx HU-2 DET. 37 Fleet Angels Piasecki HUP-2

The Modex numbers are correct, the BuNo's for these particular planes might not be correct. They are correct for the plane, they may just not match the actual planes used on this cruise. I'll update the set when I can correct that.
