The Royal Navy during the Second World War This US built fighter the Chance-Vought Corsair looped the loop at 'zero feet' when the pilot tried to take off again after misjudging his landing on board HMS ILLUSTRIOUS. The landing wheels caught the landing barrier cable and the plane crashed upside down in the reverse direction. The pilot was unhurt. Note the two men in asbestos firefighting gear in the foreground.
