HERE'S ABLE MABEL" IN FLIGHT Britain And
Here's the U.S. Navy's new one-man attack plane, dubbed by carrier plots "Able Mabel," in flight with a 9,000 pound pay load. The craft is carrying three full-size torpedoes, 12 five- inch rockets and four 20mm nerial-cannon. The cross weight of the plane thus loaded is more than 25,000 pounds, but it can take off with a gross weight of more than 29,000 pounds. The tremendous gross weight is believed to be the heaviest ever flown by a single engine aircraft. -AP Picture.
