Carrier flight deck operations aboard the USS Guadalcanal during World War II

Slow motion pictures of U.S. Navy aircraft operating on the USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60) in World War 2. Brief view of an FM-2 making normal landing. Closeup glimpse of TBM passing camera, after landing and view of another one in normal landing. Then a TBM bounces on touchdown, misses early restraining cable, but stops safely. Momentary views of several more by TBMs and one FM-2. touchdowns. A Grumman TBM-3U, utility aircraft, touches down at edge of flight deck and instantly veers to the left, as if its left main gear collapsed. It continues turning, noses over, tail high, and falls off the port side of the carrier deck. Sailors rushing to the accident site, and standing at the aft railing as the Guadalcanal begins a sharp turn to port.

Landing incidents aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Guadalcanal, at sea, during World War II

Slow motion pictures of flight operations aboard the USS Guadalcanal(CVE-60)during World War 2. U.S. Navy FM-2 Wildcat lands on the Gaudalcanal but veers to left and narrowly misses the camera, as it falls partially off the flight deck and hangs over the lower walkway beside the flight deck. The aircraft sustains considerable damage, but no fire. Deck crewmen respond quickly. But fate of pilot is not evident. In another instance, a U.S. Navy SB2C Helldiver comes in high, snags a restraining cable, but lands in a crab, causing its left main gear to collapse. It ends up facing the Island, with both main gear broken, and being inched forward by tension of the arresting cable. There is no fire. Finally, several F4U Corsair fighters are seen landing satisfactorily on the flight deck. In one scene, an F4U, following behind one landing, is forced to go around.
