......some damage on the flight deck

Fair's Fair! McAnus had nothing to do with causing that catastrophic Foxtrot Uniform on the Forrestal flight deck. In fact, his filmed escape from his jammed-up A-4 was his most noteworthy Naval accomplishment!

OTOH, every time he landed on a carrier he did some damage! Remember this was the guy who was frequently lost ... over the Chesapeake. He also may hold the coveted Navy Award as an "Enemy Ace," that is single-handedly destroying 5 or more American planes. Scorers still figuring that one out.

LOL! Yeah, how do you ‘splain those kill tags with not just migs on the side of the cockpit? Friendly fire?
