Everything AND the Kitchen Sink on AD Skyraider Korean War USS Princeton VA-195

It's a time-honored saying to denote any maximum effort: "They used everything but the kitchen sink". In August 1952, sailors aboard USS Princeton updated it to be Everything AND the kitchen sink, which they ceremoniously lashed to a bomb carried by a Skyraider of squadron VA-195 during the Korean War. Aviation mechanics R.B Deland and H.J. Burdett are credited with making the unique device. Naysayers predicted the blocky bomb would prevent the AD form getting airborne, or that its shape would make problems in the delivery dive-bombing run. But pilot Lieutenant (jg) Carl Austin carried the unorthodox ordnance over Pyonyang where intense flak greeted him. He made the release, and wags of course said it showed North Korea's war effort was going down the drain. POSTSCRIPT: The men involved in the kitchen sink bomb caper deserve credit for ingenuity and humor. Close inspection of this film suggests all may not be as it initially seems. In one scene, where a bomb fuze is inserted in the nose, it appears that the diameter of the fuze is smaller than the opening in the bomb. And the cap on the bomb that is replaced with the fuze looks like the style of cap used on lightweight sheetmetal bomb shapes of that size. As the sink-bomb combo rises in the elevator, look for configuration details like a removable panel on the bomb that does not match a typical high-explosive thick steel case. As the bomb is moved on a cart on deck and hoisted in place, it can appear that it bounces around more than a full 1,000-pound general purpose bomb would. In the takeoff scene, has the fuze been replaced with the screw-in cap? Does it really matter? That one bomb did not win or lose the war, but its humorous symbolism had value, and provided a great story then, and now. Respect to the men of USS Princeton. After the Princeton scenes, archived Navy footage depicts cold November flight operations from USS Philippine Sea during the war. You are watching the Airailimages Channel.
