The basis of this current video has garnered a lot of attention and there have been many comments. Here are those initial videos:
in SD - • Fatal Torque Roll Cras...
in HD - • Fatal Torque Roll Cras...
In this current video, I hope to break the crash down into segments that are easier to analyze and I give my observations. Feel free to bring out yours...
This sad event happened on May 12, 1945 as the pilots of VMF-513 were practicing for carrier qualifications off the coast of California near North Island Naval Station (San Diego, CA area).
This video starts with the proper trim and control positions for take off being instructed to the pilots. The early F4U and FG-1D variants of the Corsair had a tendency to torque roll, due to the massive engine and prop, if it wasn't countered properly as shown by the instructor.
These were among the first Marine Squadrons to operate from Escort Carriers in the Pacific theater during WW2. There were four Escort Carriers that started this new program:
CVE-106 USS Block Island with squadrons VMTB-233 and VMF-511
CVE-107 USS Gilbert Islands with squadrons VMTB-143 and VMF-512
CVE-109 USS Cape Gloucester with squadrons VMTB-132 and VMF-351
CVE-111 USS Vella Gulf with squadrons VMTB-234 and VMF-513
More of these WW2 Carrier based training and operations videos will be found at channel @WW2VMTB. I will be uploading new videos of the Squadron, ship training and combat experience over time.
These films are from the collections of the USMC History Division and are digitized and physically preserved through a partnership with the University of South Carolina. These films, and much more, can be found at digital.library.sc.edu.
