    When your landing speed is 40 knots and the ship is doing 20-25 knots into the wind, it is not as bad as it seems.

    When I was a kid living in Washington D.C. I saw the Akron and Macon cruising around the city and in 1936 I saw the Hindenburg fly over our house in Bethesda, Md. Visits to Bolling Field and Annacostia NAS with my brother in the early 30's we saw P-26's, F4B-4's, P-12's, F4F's, B-10's, and many others. This is only an item of interest to me now but it was a wonderful experience to see the start of two air forces then. Very colorful.

    Correction. Not F4F but F3F. Typo.

    There are some flyable F3Fs currently in existence (reproductions, admittedly) but I've never seen one fly. I hope that happens someday.
