he aircraft crashed into the sea on its takeoff run from USS Franklin D. Roosevelt. Dave and the crewman, Chief Edward R. Barrett, were lost, but B/N LTJG Ed Decker escaped from the wreckage with minor injuries and was rescued by the plane guard helicopter. Analysis of witness statements and movie and still photos failed to positively identify the cause of the accident, but the most likely cause was determined to have been an inadvertent engagement of the flight control gust lock.

That aircraft was only on it's first at sea deployment during the hitch when I was recalled for the Korean war and that was in Sept. '51. It occurred during a Mediterranean cruise Oct. '51 - Jan. '52.
You have the right months, wrong year.

DUDE! This is from the Challenge of Flight videos isnt it?

Yes, but it was a copy of of a Movietone News clip that was shown in movie theaters in 1952.
Aboard ship we were told not to mention the crash to anyone since the aircraft was highly classified and being groomed to be the Navy's A-bomb carrier.
The aircraft was known as the AJ-1 and had 2 reciprocating engines and one jet engine.
It never became operational.

Do you have the challenge of flight videos?

No, a friend was showing it to me and when that clip came on I said "I was there". Then made a copy of just that clip. It brought back memories.
Thanks for your comments.
