Summary
[edit]
| Description | Grumman F6F-5K Hellcat drones are launched from the port catapult of the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Boxer (CV-21) during the Korean War in August 1952. The F6F-5Ks were used as guided "missiles" and were guided by Douglas AD-2D Skyraider drone control planes, but the attacks produced only meagre results. Note the 407 kg (1.000 lb) bomb underneath the Hellcats. |
