INEDITA TOTAL!!!
L-8-Doolittle.jpg


On August 16, 1942, Lt. Ernest D. Cody (who piloted the L-8 on the USS Hornet delivery mission above) and Ens. Charles E. Adams took-off in the L-8 from Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay on a routine anti-submarine patrol.
After about an hour, Cody radioed that they were going to investigate an oil slick. That was the last message heard from the L-8.
Later that day, the blimp was spotted south of San Francisco up against a beachside cliff. The airship became dislodged, drifted inland, and floated down in Daly City.
But no one was aboard the L-8 and the fate of Cody and Adams has never been determined.

Hellcat-fire-USS-Cowpens1944.jpg
Me imaginaba que esa era la única que le quedaba al piloto en una situación como esa. Hay un diorama, realizado por modelista que refleja este hecho con una veracidad increible...!!!
