Early Carrier Landings (1922) USS Langley (CV1) 

awesome! my Great Uncle Carl was KIA aboard this ship during WWII.

Ouch, that used to be a friggin rough ride! I love how the plane would rock down on the propeller then bounce back, that is tough on a plane.

My grandfather served on the USS Langley during WW2, been having a hard time finding much about it on youtube. I believe there were two Langleys? One that was sunk & another that survived ww2? My grandfather passed away this past Oct 2012, he was 92 yrs old.

How cool is this

cool dude. my dad was in the navy

Samuel Pierpont Langley was my grandma's uncle, she had spoken of him to some detail however I had no idea of just who he was or what his contributions to science were. Wish i could have inherited some of his gray matter and discipline.

These early videos are awesome. =)
