' j TWO-POINT LANDING . . . Here Is one of the most spectacular deck-crash deck-crash pictures released by the U.S. navy. The unidentified pilot of this "lucky" F-6-F j,ot a signal to cut throttle when he anticipated a wave-off wave-off from the landing signal officer from the USS Princeton, so he dove for the deck. The plane hit the deck at an angle arid engaged an arresting ar-resting wire so violently that it broke In half. The front end churned through three barriers before coming to rest.
