I was going to guess Hellcat as well.

A Lootenant discovering that pilots CAN'T walk on water?

Yes, those must all be true.

That is...a really bad landing.

Hey, the saying goes "any landing you can walk away from" not "swim away from"!

I would have said it looked like the cover page from the Course book on

"Emergency Swimming Lessons - 101"

Yes-Ok,
It's a F6F of VF-37 that went over the side of the USS Sagamon off the Philippines in 1944. Yup, I'd be swimming my *ss of too!!!
I'm wondering though, what that tank is mounted on the rear of the bulkhead??? Can anyone answer that question???

I think that would be the tank for water injection. They started getting W.I. engines in 1943.
