frank2far Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share #176 Posted May 4, 2019 Indeed. Thanks for the comment. If someone wants to see something, let me know, I have a lot of material. Excellent description of a straight deck carrier landing. He really put you in the pilots seat on a nose high landing. Every fifteen seconds, just ponder that for a minute, landing on a rolling moving wooden deck one after the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt-M Posted May 29, 2021 Share #190 Posted May 29, 2021 Absolutely amazing historic archive of naval aviation history. Thank you so very much for sharing this. Have you contacted a publishing company about possible printing of this? The amount of color slides is enough to justify the cost alone for any aviation enthusiast. Just my .02. In any case, thanks again for letting us here enjoy. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
