Andrew u.k. Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Listen to Carrier Pilot by Norman Hanson on Audible. https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/B073VTJJTG?source_code=ORGOR69210072400FU Very interesting, I didn't realise that the US navy weren't keen, and farmed it off to the Marines for land based ops and the Royal Navy, that would accept anything that was just about carrier capable. It's a great book that I read a few years ago, and the Audible version is well narrated and certainly gives you a feel for the time. It's also interesting how he describes the sensitivity of the "flight model" and how in 3 days they'd crashed 3 and killed one pilot. 1
