You can look through the crews of that squadron to see if it is annotated as being flown on a particular mission.  I will look through a book I have to see what pictures exist in various sources such as the National Archives.

According to my sources, the serial number for "Belle" is unknown.  If you know its serial number, please let us know.  There may be photos under its serial number.

I saw a posting on another site from a guy named Landy Hardy asking for pictures and information about Captain A.P. Storrs, III, the first CO of the Coral Sea.  If you are the same person that was asking for the info (or if anyone who might see this knows how to contact Landy Hardy)--the original posting was a couple of years ago, and you are still interested, let me know--I have quite a few things on him.
