    early pre war Curtiss Hell Diver crash landing

    I know that this was posted before on here some years ago with the photo.

    The pilot made an unexpected exit and the rear radio/gunner was forced to make an attempt to land the airplane.

    What is not said is that there was an extra control stick in the back plus peddles to control the plane in case of an emergency. The view from the backseat is not the best
