This is the only color photo of the CVA-20 that I know of.
It was shot by a photo plane with an F56 camera, oblique, on Anscochrome or early Ektachrome.
The negative, originally 9x9 was cut down to fit 4x5. It did not withstand the ravages of time but how many of us did?
Hope you can do something with it.
Maybe someone has more color photos taken in 1955.

Hello,
I'm the webmaster for the USS Bon Homme Richard CV/CVA-31 homepage.
I was checking out your page and saw the color shot of the Bennington you had, I copied it to my Paint Shop Pro program and hopefully you'll like the result.
I've attached the retouched photo to this e-mail.
It's your to use or discard as you please.
I've also compressed it for you.
Fair winds and a Following Sea.
