I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did conventional carriers start recovering aircraft at an angle to port of the axial line of the ship?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The primary function of this angled deck is to allow aircraft that miss the arresting wires, referred to as a bolter, to become airborne again without the risk of hitting aircraft parked forward.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
