A U.S. Navy F6F Hellcat makes gear-up landing on the deck of USS Essex underway in Manila Bay, Philippines, during World War 2.
USS Essex (CV-9) underway in Manila Bay, Philippines during World War 2. F6F Hellcat of VF-9 flies past the Essex at low altitude for a gear check. Its landing gear is malfunctioning and can't be extended. The pilot is cleared to make a gear-up landing on the carrier. Next he is seen making a well-controlled touchdown near the beginning of the flight deck. Then the aircraft slides along the deck almost halfway, veering slightly to the right as it comes to a halt. It appears relatively undamaged except for a bent prop (and surely some underside damage). Deck crewmen rush to assist the pilot and bring fire extinguishers to bear on areas around the hot engine. An F4F, taking off during the emergency, veers off the side of the flight deck, but manages to continue safely. Meanwhile, deck crews continue to assist the pilot and safely secure the accident site.The pilot, apparently unhurt, is escorted as he walks away from the airplane.
U.S. Navy TBF Avenger gunner from USS Essex is buried at sea with his aircraft during World War II
A Grumman TBF avenger torpedo bomber of VT-15 Torpedo Air Group, approaches and lands on the deck of the USS Essex (CV-9) during the Battle of Manila Bay, in World War 2. Upon landing, Lt. Robert Cosgrove (Pilot) and Sailor Digby Denzek (Radioman) can be seen in their respective forward and middle crew positions. But the rear gunner position, occupied by Aviation Machinist Mate 2nd Class, Loyce Edward Deen (Gunner), has been completely destroyed by Japanese enemy 40mm shell fire, and AMM2C Loyce Deen is dead. As the aircraft is parked among others, with wings folded up, U.S. Navy sailors of the USS Essex take fingerprints and cut dog tags from the body of AMM2C Deen in the gunner position. Captain Carlos W. Wieber, Commanding Officer of the Essex, and her crew, participate in funeral services on the deck. A chaplain conducts the services from beside the aircraft, where Loyce Deen's remains in the gunner's position have been shrouded. Closeup of Rear Admiral Frederick C. Sherman during the service of burial at sea. A bugler plays taps. Beside the bugler is David L. McDonald, who was XO of the USS Essex (and later Chief of Naval Operations in the 1960s). Deen's remains are then buried at sea in the TBF avenger in which he died. The aircraft floats off the fantail for a short time before sinking from view. Two TBF Avengers are seen flying overhead, in tribute. Crew members then disband and return to their duties.
