Carrier flight deck diagram is shown with typical layouts for positioning jet and conventional aircraft. Jets are then shown being catapulted in pairs. A diagram compares Jet and conventional landing patterns. A skyraider aircraft takes a wave-off without delay. An F9F lands forced to commit earlier than the conventional aircraft. A series of jet landings are shown. An F2H Banshee jet receives a wave-off and must go around. It runs out of fuel and crashes into water, just short of the carrier.
