Description
The flight deck officers and ordnance handlers prepare Warren Henry’s SBD “Dauntless” Dive bomber to launch from the deck of USS Enterprise CV-6. Below on the hangar deck Lt. Robert R. Kirk frets as a stuck elevator has his F4F Wildcat trapped, and will make a coordinated attack on the enemy force at Midway Island impossible. The Dive Bombers and “Devastator” torpedo planes had to be launched first to clear way for the fighters.

Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands?
Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and the name of his son?
Tell me if you know!
Proverbs 30:4

"....and Kyeptain...eet ees the Enterprise!" - Star Trek IV...;) I like the perspective on this one. Great work.
Wow wow and triple wow, awesome scene. :)
I was going to ask you if this was the uss enterprise... I guess I should just read - lol
Terrific Piece i like the vortices on the port wing
Amazing realistic scene and fantastic POV as always! :)
The ship has only to turn to establish wind over deck. (W.O.D.) In shallow waters with poor charts this might be impossible requiring steam into the true wind. Then there is the matter of keeping the pointy end toward the enemy.
Well done Hats off to ya for this outstanding work of art
Love the environment. Great job!
I also like the perspective here and where would the irony be without the Enterprise?
Excellent!!
This is GREAT RG! i've always loved your work! (and the verse you chose too! =)
Cool POV you have chosen here very dramatic
