New Mission for Missile Boats

Photography: John B. Carnett

 

John Carnett hired a helicopter to shoot this nuclear sub in the Pacific Ocean. He had to time his flight to receive the US Navy's message with the secret coordinates of where the sub would surface. One of the helicopter's engines failed on the shoot, although this didn't faze John. He's already crashed twice flying in helicopters.
