NAS Patuxent River, Md. - USS Langley (CV-1), originally built as the collier USS Jupiter (AC-3), served mainly as a training ship for all carriers, their aircraft and aircrews that were to come after. Without the characteristic island on its flight deck, the Langley received the nickname “Covered Wagon,” recalling the equally legendary “land schooners” of the 19th century that brought so many of U.S. pioneers and hopeful settlers to new homes in the west. Barely discernable an Aeromarine 39 crosses the aft end of the flight deck. The Aeromarine was a somewhat minor but available type that served during WWI and carried on briefly after the war. On Oct. 26, 1922, Lt. Cmdr. Geoffrey DeChevalier (Naval Aviator No. 7) flying an Aeromarine 39-B made the first landing aboard the U.S. Navy ‘s first aircraft carrier. (U.S. Navy)
