That is one of the biggest accomplishments of the U.S. Military. Naval aviation really took front during the Battle of Midway in which dive bombers from 3 U.S. aircraft carriers sank 4 Japanese aircraft carriers and turning the tide of the war with Japan. This was the first battle in which neither fleet saw each other. Thus the aircraft carrier became the capitol ship of the U.S. Navy.

I spent my time in the Navy as a Parachute Rigger maintaining survival equipment. I love his 'life jacket'. I had two of the modern ones that I packed used while I was in. Thank goodness they both worked.

There is a reason they are Naval Aviators and have Wings of Gold.

I've been lucky enough to do some cool things in my life. Way up towards the top of the list is a cat shot in front seat of a C-2 and the subsequent evening, sunset trap on Big E.
