Hi, new here. I am looking for manuals on "carrier operations", basically a training manual on how to takeoff and land on a WW2 carrier. I have found some stuff on youtube but nothing in print. I have searched this site, but found nothing, maybe someone knows where to look? For example, this picture below, may be from some training manual because I have not found this picture in any Hellcat manual.
Thanks,
DKoch

That particular site (and many others that have the ~same screen format) are fake sites. They are phishing sites that use robots to capture the search words you use and then mirror them in a result so that you think you have found what you are looking for.

Thanks everybody. I guess it is really something hard to find, if it exists at all.

Otherwise:
There's lots of online info, depends on how the search is phrased. Here's a handful:

(Shameless hype if permitted: I addressed the subject in my centennial history of CVs, "On Wave and Wing.")
