That Picture helps me alot indeed....

 

Uss Bunker Hill were Essex Class aircraft carrier.

 

So its very possible that photo is on a Essex class...

 

That is the best picture ive seen so far,

 

Now research for the details the, do you got more pics of carrier?

Yes, Bunker Hill was an Essex class, but this book has very few pics of Essex class, only escort carriers. I looked through it for more photos of the elevators (like you are seeking), but I could find no better shots. I think the detail is nice, but may not be exactly like you are seeking. I will look through it again for more, it has many pictures which I think are unpublished, of life on the escort carriers.

Yes the round corners of the elevator on the Essex class differ compared to my pic.

Looks like a good plan so far. Interested in seeing your forthcoming efforts. This will be fun to watch!
