One of the classic deck landing accidents, an F6F-5 on "Cowpens" (VF-46) returning from the 24 Feb. 1945 Tokyo raid wrights-off 5 more; the pilots were still in cockpits but no fatalities though 2 deck-crew were lost overboard. Dangerous place with engines running up too; a handler on "Yorktown" was blown backwards and a pitot tube went through his cheek.
