Writing
about warfare day-in and day-out for years hardens you to the avalanche of
conflict-related imagery and video you see on a daily basis, which ranges from
gruesome to heroic. This job literally makes you examine the worst and the best
humanity has to offer on a daily basis, but once in a while, a piece of media
will really move you by surprise. This happened today when @history1history posted
a video of a TBM Avenger gunner being buried at sea with his battle damaged
aircraft. Apparently, this is the only time this happened during the war.
In the clip, we see the Avenger, which
was hit hard by flak, limping back to the carrier. Once it lands, the rear
turret gunner's cockpit is covered up and the aircraft is ceremoniously rolled
off the fantail of the ship in a unique burial at sea. You see, Aviation
Machinist Mate 2nd Class Loyce Edward Deen's body was so badly mangled from the
anti-aircraft shell that took his life that it couldn't be removed from the
torpedo bomber's rear cockpit.
