Seen a lot of people commenting on the F6F thing on Fbook - that's probably just a typo, so no worries, happens to the best!
For those who are interested, the date is exact. The event, as related by John Lundstrom in vol.2 of the First Team, published by @USNIBooks
#WW2 #History Image Pilot Harold Mathew O'Leary was indeed rescued from the water & stayed in the Navy after the war. He had enlisted in 1939, was Aviation Pilot 1st Class by 1942, & went on to become LCDR. He died in an air crash in 1955, on approach to Hickham AFB. He was 34.
May he Rest in Peace. Image

Ok I did some digging about this photo eventually, because there was something strange.
First, it is often attributed to Hornet. Might be from Hornet, but I found material coming from Wasp too. Looking at the evidence though, gotta say that the Wildcat theory doesn't hold..!😱😅

Image First, that's the first time I noticed it, these two photos actually show the very same plane, taken a few moments apart under a different angle. The shape of the black clouds show it well enough.🧐
