English: A U.S. Navy Douglas AD-4 Skyraider of Attack Squadron 195 (VA-195) "Dambusters" with a special ordnance aboard the aircraft carrier USS Princeton (CVA-37) in August 1952. VA-195 was assigned to Carrier Air Group 19 (CVG-19) for a deployment to the Korean War from 21 March to 3 November 1952. The "special weapon" was a 454 kg (1000 lb) bomb with a kitchen sink attached. The idea came up, when the squadron's executive officer LCdr. M.K. Dennis remarked during a meeting with the press: "We dropped everything on them (the North Koreans) but a kitchen sink." Royal J. Deland, ADC, and J. Burnett, ADC, then produced a bomb with a kitchen sink attached. The commanding Admiral was not pleased by this and would not allow to drop the bomb for a week. However, press coverage in the United States obviously led to the dropping of this bomb in August 1952 on Pyongyang by Lt.(jg) Carl B. Austin.[1] |
