These photos were taken by my dad when he served on the USS Hancock (CV-19) during 1957 in the USMC. I know he used a 35mm camera he bought in Japan and it had a relatively fast lens (1.7 or 1.8).

These are a couple of Douglas AD Skyraiders. The ship in the background is the USS Bon Homme Richard (CV-31).

I believe these are all North American FJ-3 Furys.

This is a McDonnel F2H Banshee.

This is a Piasecki (Vertol) HUP Retriever ultility helicopter.

This is a flight of North American AJ-2 Savages.
