that is a great shot.
I imagine pretty high, as carrier operations were still relatively experimental. Especially getting an aircraft to stop in such a short distance without damage to the plane or crew. I'll see if i can find some figures.... I know that quite a few airmen/mechanics were decapitated. Which is why they introduced a saying on carriers decks that went something like "Rule no 1. Stay away from shiny spinning things!"that is a great shot.
wonder what the casualty rate was among WW2 carrier deck crew just from accidents recovering and launching aircraft ?
