Honor the Brave

One of the last aircraft to come aboard following the day’s combat actions was the
(photo-bird) RF-8G Crusader. Unarmed, apart from cameras and film, the eyes of the
fleet pilots roamed far and wide throughout Vietnam to bring back vital post-strike
photographs and reconnaissance information. The USS Coral Sea represented one
of twenty-one attack and anti-submarine carriers deployed to the Golf of Tonkin.
Their crews displayed courage, duty, sacrifice and service.
