A great video from Zeno’s War Birds. Worth a sit-down with a cup of coffee.
Some shopworn Wildcats and Avengers. A great description of the incredibly complex ballet that was the operation of a WWII carrier flight deck. Hand and arm signals, whistles, muscle and discipline. With powerful reminders that there were a thousand and one ways to get killed then, as now.
(Honestly, this was written before XBRAD posted about tailhook design. I did not intentionally go all “Goose and Mav” on you….)
