Summary edit
| Description | A Sikorsky HO3S-1 helicopter of helicopter utility squadron HU-1 Pacific Fleet Angels lands aboard the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Princeton (CVA-37) on 17 July 1953. The helicopter was returning Lieutenant Guy Bordelon, who had become the only U.S. Navy "ace" during the Korean War, after shooting down his fifth enemy plane the night before. Bordelon was assigned to composite squadron VC-3 Blue Nemesis, which was deployed to Korea on Princeton from 24 January to 21 September to Korea as part of Carrier Air Group 15 (CVG-15). His aircraft, a Vought F4U-5N Corsair (BuNo 124453, NP-21), was left at an airbase in Korea and Bordelon was flown back to the Princeton. An U.S. Air Force Reserve pilot later crashed the plane in an accident. |
