Boats,

No apology necessary in fact I may owe you an apology. From the photo provided by 39 I was in error and A-4E's did carry zuni's.

The book "Sailors to the End" recounts the incident and the author concludes there are varying accounts and errors in reports.

"Manual of the Judge Advocate General Basic Final Investigative Report Concerning the Fire on Board the USS Forrestal (CVA-59)" concludes the Zuni came from F-4D #110 and struck aircraft #405 rather than McCain's #416.
