I remember reading about the reaction of carrier
mechanics to this plane. For decades seaborne aviation
was restricted to machines from Grumman and Douglas.
And now comes a NEW supplier, Curtiss, and all the
new tools and specs they have to learn. Everyone hated
it. The pilots, the crew, the mechanics, the airedales.
