EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as the Douglas F3D-2 Skyknight performs touch and goes on the newly installed Angled Deck of USS Antietam CVA-36 in 1953. The United States Navy aircraft, known for its unique design and powerful performance, is seen with its canopy hatch open for launch and recovery - a necessary feature since the F3D was not equipped with ejection seats.
The image showcases the precision and skill of naval aviators as they navigate their aircraft on the deck of this massive vessel. The USS Antietam CVA-36 serves as a vital transport hub for these incredible machines, allowing them to take off and land safely at sea.
As we admire this snapshot from over half a century ago, we are reminded of the bravery and dedication of those who served in the US Navy during this time. The sight of the sleek F3D-2 Skyknight against the backdrop of the ocean is truly awe-inspiring, capturing a moment frozen in time that will forever be remembered in aviation history.
The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of history for us to appreciate and reflect upon, offering us a glimpse into an era when innovation and courage went hand in hand aboard naval vessels like USS Antietam CVA-36.
