Just watching the water go by as the camera is focused on the pilots, that carrier/tides are MOVING. No question why these men were the greatest generation ever. Its crazy to imagine some of these men aboard are under 18 and lied about their age to enlist. I wonder if any of them knew the importance of their sacrifice. Truly amazing, god rest their souls.
Si hoy en dia con toda las ayudas de electrónica, GPS, y otros sistemas de indicaciones es difícil aterrizar en un portaaviones, con esos aviones y las ayudas que tenían en aquellos años debería ser algo de locos. Mi reconocimiento a aquellos pilotos. Los que dieron su vida entrenando y intentando desarrollar esos sistemas y los que pudieron volver a casa.
Translation: @Viteos8945 If today with all the help of electronics, GPS, and other indication systems it is difficult to land on an aircraft carrier, with those planes and the aid they had in those years it should be something crazy. My gratitude to those pilots. Those who gave their lives training and trying to develop those systems and those who were able to return home.
The Corsair is unmistakably recognized from any angle in any light. I cannot think of any other plane for which this claim can be made. Any challengers?
To leave your great home at sea.And all thats America. Is a spellbinding horror story. A wee inflatable boat under your arse? And some info and rations. Yes the Worlds your Oyster?.My father served during Ww2 R.A.F. he drummed it into me the horrors of ditching.

My Dad flew Corsairs off of the Vella Gulf in WWII and can be seen in this video - so cool!
He is specifically called out in another (yet unreleased) video as they are eating in the mess on the ship...
