Carrier operations

[DKoch]

Hi, new here. I am looking for manuals on "carrier operations", basically a training manual on how to takeoff and land on a WW2 carrier. I have found some stuff on youtube but nothing in print. I have searched this site, but found nothing, maybe someone knows where to look? For example, this picture below, may be from some training manual because I have not found this picture in any Hellcat manual.
Thanks,
DKoch

Welcome aboard the forum.

I can not assist you but I am sure someone will have the answers you seek.

Darn

We now have two threads with exactly the same title - hopefully the mods can rename this one. I suggest Carrier Operations Manuals People are looking for

The new thread tittle was typed. For some reason it wasn't updated while creating the thread. Renamed.

When I tried to open that site I got this message so I closed the link and ran the AV.

Interesting. I use Bitdefender

That particular site (and many others that have the ~same screen format) are fake sites. They are phishing sites that use robots to capture the search words you use and then mirror them in a result so that you think you have found what you are looking for.

Thanks T ThomasP Deleted and added something more important

Thanks everybody. I guess it is really something hard to find, if it exists at all.

The drawing in the first post is from a 1980s (?) issue of The Hook, quarterly journal of the Tailhook Association. If you like aircraft carriers, you'll love The Hook.
Otherwise:
There's lots of online info, depends on how the search is phrased. Here's a handful:

Carrier Operations: The Flight Deck

During World War Two aircraft were able to take off from and land on carrier decks.

(Shameless hype if permitted: I addressed the subject in my centennial history of CVs, "On Wave and Wing.")

I'd like to see WW2 carrier ops manuals too.

Here are 2 YT videos, albeit for UK Fleet Air Arm wartime, but good tech info, esp the first link
