USS STEAMER BAY (CVE-87). An FM-2 Wildcat of VC-93 snags the arresting gear, July 9, 1945. Note three launch stubs for 5" High Velocity Air Rockets (HVARs)
under each wing — these were fitted to late-production FM-2's.

On this day 90 years ago, Aug 11, 1937.

The first flight of the Boulton Paul Defiant aircraft was made at Wolverhampton, England, United Kingdom with Chief Test Pilot Cecil Feather
at the controls. This first prototype was flown without the gun turret and with ballast added to compensate for the turret and its gunner.
As such it achieved a satisfactory 302 mph, and the flying characteristics were pronounced as excellent.
