Summary[edit]
| Description |
The U.S. Coast Guard General Aviation PJ-2 Antares (serial CG-51, later V-116) transferring a critically injured seaman from the SS Samuel Q. Brown. In this instance two merchant crewmen sustained serious burns and were evacuated 80 km off the Delaware Capes in early 1933. The transfer was made by small boat using a specially designed stretcher which was placed aboard the aircraft using the forward hatch. The transfer in this case was made in favourable weather conditions, which was often not the case. This PJ-2 was commissioned on 16 April 1932 as a PJ-1. The aircraft was initially stationed at Air Station Cape May, New Jersey and later transferred to Air Station Biloxi, Mississippi. Its engines were modified from a pusher-type to tractor-type by the Coast Guard in 1933 and it was redesignated as a PJ-2. |
