pipedreams Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The Army Air Force, of course, also needed navigators and their specialized skills and tools, to achieve its goals. Part of a bomber's crew, their contributions were rarely acknowledged. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 How did US Navy carrier pilots navigate during WW2? Commander Jame H. Flatley, Jr, with his Mark 3A plotting board, about to climb into his Grumman F6F-3, 1943. This essential piece of equipment and the knowledge and skill required to use it, was vital to our victory in the Pacific War. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G21H30 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 On 2/12/2019 at 5:26 PM, pipedreams said: This is the Fritz X ..the first guided bomb is history ..on 9 September 1943 it also became the first such bomb to sink a ship in combat – the Italian battleship Roma which as a great accomplishment in the year 1943.. it really goes to show how advanced the Germans were at that time. My uncle served as a Gunners Mate on the USS Savannah CL-42 and survived this attack on September 11,1943 by a FritzX. There was a large scale model (covered with glass) of his ship on my grandmothers dining room buffet. My uncle would only speak about that day if he had been heavily drinking.https://www.history.navy.mil/browse-by-topic/wars-conflicts-and-operations/world-war-ii/1943/salerno-landings/savannah-salerno.html 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
