Hi!

I'm looking for references pictures or photos of CVG-1 aircraft onboard USS Enterprise on it's first deployment, in 1962.
Those references are to put the Airwing on my 1/720 Enterprise, and i've searched high and low and it seems that no one nows about this airwing has been onboard USS Enterprise, only two sites:
Airwing as in GONAVY:
VF-102 Diamondbacks, F4H-1, (AF)100
VF-62 Boomerangs, F8U-1, (AK)200
VA-172 Blue Bolts, A4D-2N, (AB)300
VA-12 Flying Ubangis, A4D-2N, (AB)400
VA-15 Valions, AD-6, (AB)500
VA-64 Black Lancers, A4D-2N, (AF)600
VAH-7 Peacemakers of the Fleet, A3J-1, (AF)700
VAW-12 DET.60 Bats, WF-2, (GE)800
VFP-62 DET.60 Fighting Photos, F8U-1P, (GA)900
HU-2 DET.60 Fleet Angels, HUP-3, (HU)xx

Airwing as in US CARRIERS WING AVIATION:
VF-102, F4H-1, AF 100
VF-62, F8U-1, AK 200
VA-172, A4D-2N, AB 300
VA-12, A4D-2, AB 400
VA-15, AD-6, AB 500
VA-64, A4D-2N, AF 600
VAH-7, A3J-1, GL 400
VAW-12 Det. 60, WF-2, GE 700
VFP-62 Det. 60, F8U-1P, GA 900
HU-2 Det. 60, HUP-2, HU 60

I'm wondering if this is correct, both sites even have different modexes....

Since i want to depict my Enterprise with the first airwing ever onboard, i'm looking for these references just to make things right........
Or in last case, if anyone has ever donne the Enterprise with this airwing....
I know there's an CVG-6 1/720 decals available, but the squadrons aren't the same.
I wonder if anyone could help....

Many thanks...
