Such a cool photo from 1944. The industrial output at that time was staggering.

Probably almost 20 squadrons of aircraft there. Corsairs and Hellcats headed to the Pacific (I can also see a few Helldivers at the end there). The numbers are incredible.  Also interesting is that you can count the number of flyable F4U-1Ds still in existence on one hand.
