  • A lot of non carrier planes were launched from carriers, they just didnt land back onboard! :-)

  • B24's???? Hopefully that's just a typo, since they were B25's.

  • @slrman Remember that Doolittle's raiders all launched from a carrier in B-24's. Not carrier based or designed aircraft.

  • @looneycrewvideos the small escort carriers had a small catapult to get the planes off not like today with the Nimitz class carriers

  • @looneycrewvideos They don't have catapaults, they just hold the brakes and rev the engine then let go and hopefully the aircraft is up to speed to take off by the end of the runway not too far ahead. They hve wires however.

  • in ww2 did they use wires to slow down and catapaults to take off?

  • @AirlineWiz My Grandpa may have repaired that Hellcat

  • my grandpa flew a F6F Hellcat

  • well, watch and see how it's done then...

  • well, congratulations then...
