From what I've read it was common practice for landing F4U's even without the oil hit due to the 0 visibility over the nose of the thing.

The ship diidn't turn, the aircraft was flown on a constant turning approach.

  In the last corsair photo, i like how u can see the right landing gear busted behind the right wing.

  All of these would be good 'caption this photos' IMO.

I think they were referring to the wake of the boat not being straight...

I am glad those guys landed safely, and hopefully they survived the war too.

Can you image what that must have been like, and I wonder if they had to literally stand out of their plane at times to see where they were going; probably had to!
