Sep. 17, 1950
ENS Edward Jackson Jr landing his F-9F Panther aboard USS Philippine Sea (CV-47) despite being blinded after his aircraft was damaged while attacking an airfield in Pyongyang
On that day Jackson was at 100 ft above enemy territory in F9F-2B of VF-112 when he struck a cable strung across the Han River just south of Seoul.
The fighter’s canopy was smashed and Jackson was knocked unconscious for about 20 seconds. Coming to, he found his jet in a steep climbing turn and his vision impaired by almost 100 per cent due to blood pouring down into his eyes from facial lacerations. Jackson radioed his wingman, Ens Dayl Crow, and requested altitude and direction instructions. He then slowed his machine down and flew 120 miles back to CV-47. On the downward leg, CVG-11’s Landing Signal Officer (LSO), Lt(jg) L K Bruestle, took over from Crow and guided Jackson via radio commands to a miraculously ‘routine’ landing on the carrier’s short, pitching, deck.
