catapults

[Glenn]

Hi,
 I am building a catapult for my 1/48th Loening. I have plans, that's not the problem, what I'd like to know is, how many crew were involved in the launch?
The unit has a wheel on the port side (turning it into the wind) and on the starboard side, a platform, railing and electrical box (launching) Does anyone know what crew were still on the platforms on launch?

I don't know, but I'll hazard a guess at two, one catpult officer and one to verify that everything is clear before the launch.

Hasn't someone else got to hold the ice creams?
So that's at least three crew.
