F6F-5 VF-29 Lt. jg. Robert E Muarry April 1945
« on: May 02, 2021, 03:31:23 PM »
Lt. jg. Robert E Murray was VF-29's topgun with 10.33 kills aboard the USS Cabot. VF-29 claimed 113 victories, 34 came on October 16, 1944 while over Formosa, Muarry claimed 4 kills that day to become an ace. His Hellcat was an early -5 model and had the rear window and carried 12 kill markings which included his assists of a Betty and Zero. Rare for Hellcats it also carries 15 bombing mission markings, the crew refereed to the plane as 'Lucky 7'.

Nice work.

I once landed a 152 on the Cabot when it was being scrapped down in Brownsville, Texas.   Closest I came to being a Naval Aviator.   Ah, the things we do when we are young and dumb.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
