Carrier Islands by Thomas W Ping
Are there aviation-related reasons why the starboard side is favored for the island, or is it a purely naval issue? If the latter, did the practice come about because the first pioneering carriers were arbitrarily drawn up that way and the configuration simply stuck as a matter of tradition, or...

P-51 question. by Mortimer Schnerd, RN
JStONGE123 wrote: Why was the P-51 not used on aircraft carriers during WWII? Beside the obvious no tail hook.....ect. No tail hook. No extra heavy duty landing gear for carrier "landings". No folding wing. No need.... the F6F was quite capable in its place.

F-106 Speed record questions.... by David E. Powell

Is this true, or did it set...
