Thanks...That sounds right, I remember reading when landing an F4U on a carrier the pilot was practically blind.
Yeah, the long nose obstructed the pilot’s view of the carrier deck and the Landing Signal Officer, so Corsair pilots had to adopt the tactic of approaching the carrier immediately behind the flight deck from the port side and at a 45 degree angle, then banking hard and flaring for a blind slam down. Small wonder they were reassigned to land-based duty!
