Thank you Fraser. They were based on both coasts. With a 103 ft wingspan, no carrier could accept a Neptune.

That is much bigger than I thought. I was thinking more of a tracker sized aircraft with folding wings.

I will take a photo with a Tracker for comparison.

So, technically, a Neptune could be landed on the Bonnie and JATO could help it take off again.

Thanks for the visual comparison Lou. It is certainly a bit out of place on a carrier deck.
Thanks,
Fraser

Some were modified nuke bombers and launched from an American carrier, however, no landing was ever attempted.
