Sorry @bdpopeye old mate, I've checked and double checked and I'm afraid I have to disagree with you mate. Everywhere I've looked has this as USS Enterprise, late 1941. The spare airframes triced up in the overhead seals it for me, they definitely don't look like late war airframes and to me they fit with the time period of 1941.
