That overhead pic of that air strip - there is a video on the forum where somebody lands and films it. White knuckle ride!
 
Charles Lindbergh prangs his Lockheed Sirius floatplane in the Yangtse River China with wife Anne aboard.
Caption- "October 2, 1931: Lindbergh's (seen on the wing) wrecked Lockheed Sirius being hauled aboard HMS Hermes. As he was taking off there was some kind of accident involving a cable on Hermes.
The aircraft carrying both Charles and Anne dipped a wing and crashed in the Yangtze. Both were unhurt and crewmen from Hermes quickly rescued them from the water. The aircraft was taken to Shanghai and repaired, but the Lindbergh's returned home without it. It is currently on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C."

That Avenger in the last post is actually a pretty horrible story, I don't recall where I've seen it but the pilot told his crew to bail out as he didn't think he could control the aircraft, so they did, but he eventually managed to land it on a carrier. Both of the crewmen were captured and died in Japanese prison camps.
