It’s 1940, just months after Warren Henry had “ground looped” a N3N Canary trainer at Pensacola Naval Air Station, reservist Robert R. Kirk asked to be allowed to take a shot at landing a N3N on the flight deck of visiting carrier USS Ranger CV-4: Flight Training commander: “You ground loop that plane into the carrier and you’ll be paying the Navy for a new flight deck and a Canary, if you survive, that is!” CV-4 Ranger was the first purposely built aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy, the Langley was just an experimental carrier and not intended to be used as a warship. The Ranger had six “swing stacks” (three aside) and the bridge was located under the flight deck near the bow, like the Langley. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
