His son, James Flatley III was the one who landed the Hercules on that aircraft carrier. Other than that "correction", very nicely done indeed!

    One small nitpicky point. The broomstick "gun" was in the tail cone in order discourage to discourage Japanese aircraft from attacking the B-25s from the rear. In the B-25b, the version that was used in the Doolittle raid, there was no tail gunner position. With the exception of the removal of the bottom gun turret the planes retained the rest of the complement of defensive armament of 50 caliber machine guns, which remained in the top or dorsal turret position and hand mounted by the bombardier in the nose at the bombardier's station.

    It always amazes me how quickly Naval Aviation advanced. During WWI, experiments were conducted on launching aircraft from makeshift flight decks fitted or replacing aft turrets on battleships or heavy cruisers. This was actually dropped in favor of a steam catapult that warships could use to launch a single float plane for observation, CAP, or anti-submarine duties.
    The first 'Aircraft Carriers' were, like the USS Ranger, the Soviet Komsomolets, were carriers built from civilian ships or training vessels while vessels like the Japanese Hosho and British Hermes were vessels that started out as battlecruisers but were converted to carriers under the conditions of the Washington Naval Treaty that limited the size, weight, and number of warships in any one nation's Navy. Carriers, being a new concept, were not listed in the Treaty so they could be built as big, heavy or as numerous as a nation needed.
    It wasn't until the 1930s that the first true purpose-built aircraft carriers were built. Even then, naval aviation was primitive. Planes didn't have catapults so a long run-up from the fantail, past the island, up to the bow was needed. The carrier also needed significant speed and a tailwind to get its planes in the air.
    I knew of the Doolittle Raid, obviously, and the C-130 and Cessna but the others I was unaware of. Great informative video, well worth a like and Subscribe.

      Apparent wind over the deck is the sum of the boat speed and any headwind. The carrier points into the wind. A tailwind decreases apparent wind at take off and increases ground speed making landing more difficult.

    USAF pilots can't do Navy landings, that's why they couldn't land on a carrier. Flying into the deck is alien to USAF where they flare to land. That's why Navy planes don't have fragile USAF landing gear.

    The Navy wanting a bomber looked at a Boeing 727. They tried it taking off and landing on a land based runway with the length of an aircraft carrier. It was able take off and land within the aircraft carrier length of deck. Nothing came of it, but it was a good attempt at an aircraft bomber.

    Technically the test aircraft was a KC-130 tanker version of the Hercules. But it's the same basic aircraft.
    The tests would have been conducted with a WIND speed of 10-20 knots, PLUS the carrier's own speed of 30+ knots adding to the EFFECTIVE wind speed.

    • @x-planed
      @x-planed  Рік тому +1

      That’s a very interesting question. I’d say the main issue here is the landing gear and the airframe which are not designed to absorb the energy during such violent touchdown. But in theory a very skilled pilot could fly a really flat path to not knock the landing gear and aim right into the barricade

      In 1989, American pilots performed what was probably the most spectacular flyby by long-range bombers.
      During the Cold War, Russian aircraft repeatedly attempted to scout and photograph American ships. As a result, the U.S. launched an exercise in which B-52 bombers played the role of the Russians and tried to scout the aircraft carrier. The latter, in turn, was to detect the threat in time and dispatch interceptors. Once the bombers spotted the carrier, they bragged about it and asked permission for a flyby.
      The air traffic controller on board said he couldn't spot them anywhere, but the pilots radioed back that he should look down. At an incredibly low altitude, the B-52s sped past the carrier, so low that they even disappeared below the flight deck. The pilots had practiced low-level flights for years in order to fly undetected under Soviet radar, and now they showed what they were capable of. When asked if they should come around again, all the sailors enthusiastically answered "yes" and this time everyone had their cameras pulled out, creating unique pictures

'Move' for instance is not spelt 'Mouve'. A quick run-through any English language spelling & grammar checker would have spotted your mistakes & certainly would have been worth the effort to do when compared to the amount of research you'd done research & the care taken over the visuals. No criticism intended, just trying help.

    The U.S. Navy after WW2 was desperate to stay relevant in the Nuclear Age. Those "Little Boy" bombs were not then outdated so much as very expensive to build using highly enriched uranium 235 compared to the less costly plutonium explosive compression "Fat Man" bombs. Now the Navy has the most credible U.S. strategic deterrent.
    I'm reasonably certain that a well known Lockheed test pilot made the first carrier landings and takeoffs with a C-130.
    The appellation "Dragon Lady" usually refers to the "Big Wing" U-2, i.e., U-2R, TR-1A, U-2S, etc. The carrier experiments were done with the earlier small wing U-2. The U-2G was a modified U-2C.
    Cringe every time I see that film of the helos pushed overboard. It's a carrier task force! They had every practical means for rescuing pax and crew from a ditched aircraft. Hope whomever made that choice paid for it.
