    57 years ago... My dad was career Navy, enlisting 6 months before the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor, until he died in the crash of his AJ-1 Savage in 1955. He was the Plane Captain. In memory of Earl C. (Bill) Bishop, AD-1 USN Lost with his crew 20 July, 1955 while attempting an emergency landing at Capodichino, Naples, Italy. I miss you, dad.

    The North American AJ Savage was not a *night fighter, but a (Cold War-era) carrier-based attack bomber designed to deliver an atomic weapon. Besides the pair of prop-driven engines it had a jet engine that allowed it to take-off from an aircraft carrier. My dad, a VC-8 AJ-1 Savage plane Captain, was lost in the crash of his in 1955. The aircraft was not reliable, having been rushed into production before resolving numerous problems. * Perhaps this photo is being mistaken for a Douglas F3D Skyknight or even a P-61 Black Widow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_AJ_Savage
