Tengu Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) That's really convincing (photo-realistic) in black and white. But what am I looking at with all the white smoke? Edited January 31, 2022 by Tengu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG-51_Razor Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 That is a real black and white photo of a Corsair begining his takeoff run from a CVE using JATO bottles. My guess is it's a test of the system as it's the first time I have ever seen a photo of them in use on a Corsair. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tengu Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) @AG-51_Razor, thanks for educating me. I was going to ask if it was a CVE noting the Wildcat / Avenger combo, but you already answered that in your post. Apparently, it's from Sep-44 aboard CVE-18 Altamaha. The caption from another source states: "A F4U-1 Corsair starts takoff (sic) run on USS Altamata (sic) (CVE-18) in 1944 after widespread acceptance of JATO units for fleet use." That last bit is news to me. Here's another Jato Corsair from the internet. Also a BuAer video on JATO from 1945. It shows details of the Jato bottles, wiring, and attachment to the aircraft. It also compares unassisted and assisted take off runs of a Wildcat, Hellcat, Corsair, Dauntless and Avenger. I was surprised at how quickly the Corsair's tail lifts off on the unassisted run. The pilot gets his tail wheel off the ground in maybe a second and the aircraft level maybe 4 seconds.

AG-51_Razor Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 That's very interesting indeed Tengu. Thank you for posting those pictures..I have never seen much less was I ever aware of the Corsair using JATO bottles! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
