BeschrijvingEns Sheedy crashing USS Hornet Midway 1942.jpg
English: A U.S. Navy Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat of fighting squadron VF-3 from the USS Yorktown (CV-5) lands on the aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8), circa 14:30 h, 4 June 1942. The plane "3-F-24" was piloted by Ens. Daniel C. Sheedy and had been damaged by Japanese A6M2 Zero fighters over the Japanese fleet. The aircraft landed hard, causing the right landing gear to collapse and the six 12.7 mm machine guns opened fire for two seconds (note the smoke coming from the guns). The bullets killed three Marines, a sailor of VB-8, and the aft 12.7 cm gun control officer, Lt. Royal R. Ingersoll, son of Adm. Royal E. Ingersoll (CINCLANT). Twenty others were wounded.
