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.

I had a friend whose Naval Aviator husband perished in Oriskany fire during Vietnam War. She told me that the families knew the A3D earned the nickname: All Three Dead .
