Description: A U.S. Navy Douglas A3D-2 Skywarrior (BuNo 138955) of heavy attack squadron VAH-9 Hoot Owls pictured after its nose wheel collapsed during recovery on board the carrier USS Saratoga (CVA-60), 1959-1960. Note the open canopy. As a high altitude strategic bomber the A3D (after 1962 A-3) was not equipped with ejection seats and the crew was expected to jump off with parachutes in case of an emergency.
