An underway recovery of these aircraft in smooth seas is accom- plished by the plane landing and taxiing up to a sled which is towed from an extended shipis boom where it is caught and hoisted aboard by a crane. If the seas are rough the recovery operation is a little more difficult. The ship makes a long, smooth turn, creating a slick in which the plane lands when the wind is right. Again he taxiis up to the sled, taking care not to dig a wing or swerve into the ship. It is a tense moment as the p1ane's float hovers on the edge of the sled trying to hook on. Once caught she is quickly brought aboard by the shipas crane. Below: In port with the ship at anchor, recovery easy. The pilot lands, taxiis into position under the crane and is hoisted aboard. 43
