In August 1943, an F6F Hellcat entered a low altitude spin just moments before reaching the deck of the es**rt carrier USS Charger.
With no height to recover, the aircraft slammed into the rear of the flight deck, then dropped down onto the stern of the ship.

Carrier landings were unforgiving at the best of times, and a spin at that height was usually fatal. Somehow, against all odds, the pilot survived the impact. The aircraft did not.

The incident underlines just how dangerous carrier operations were during the war. Training accidents claimed almost as many lives as combat itself, and even the newest aircraft could become lethal with a single mistake or mechanical issue.

It’s an extraordinary survival, and one that still makes seasoned naval aviators wince when they see the photographs.
