RE: Corsairs on Deck

That's an interesting photo. You know it never occurred to me that it might snow on carriers.

RE: Corsairs on Deck

It's interesting to see that the planes are fitted with only one drop tank not two. You would think to balance the load, they would use two. When fully filled it would be a lot of weight just on one wing.
