I actually saw Demons fly and return and land on the Hancock summer of 1960. The A3Ds, though, not so much.
My opinion only, the bravest Naval Aviators got into A3Ds, launched and hoped to land successfully.

Well A3D or AJ1 Savage, but I agree. Yeah I know the second gen Demons could and did fly, but that doesn't change the problems of the first gen. That's not MikyD's problem though, it was an endemic issue of the early jets. F7U Cutlass is one of my all time favorite naval aircraft designs. Alas poor engines doomed it to a short life and doomed history. All aspects of early jets had issues but it was noted more on some than others.

The underside roundels face forward, as the fuselage ones.
Was / is it usual practice or an oddity? What about the upper wing ones?
