Donald J. Dobbins, AB3, was in the arresting gear crew on the FDR and was also known as an accomplished illustrator. One of his illustrations done aboard the FDR is shown below.  Sadly he passed away on 30 August 2009 at the New York State Veterans Home in Batavia, NY. His family was kind enough to provided these images.
