Also, P-47s and other "ground-based" aircraft were ferried to war zones

and
then launched from carriers. I have a great photo of a herd of P-47s

preparing
for such a launch. Also, US operated Hurricanes off carriers, I think

during
Torch...? I saw a photo of a US-marked Hurri on a beach in NA, getting
manhandled into position for a takeoff attempt after it was forced down in

the
middle of the US invasion troops.


Way back when Wings was on the Discovery channel instead of being a channel
(that I don't get) they had one episode that was basicly the P-47 in the
PTO.
That episode had a fair amount of footage showing Jugs being catapulted off
a carrier.
