Designed by cartoonist Robert Osborn, the character appeared in the Naval Aviation News and on various naval aviation safety posters. These often featured case studies of pilot mistakes that proved consequential if not outright fatal. The “sage of safety” campaign proved successful enough that the Navy commissioned a series of UPA studio cartoons. This one, "Landing Accidents" does not feature the Pettibone character, but was probably inspired by that series. The film urges pilots to perform checklist activities while coming in for a landing. The cartoon suggests that the most common mistakes made by pilots that cause landing accidents, are related to skipping a basic step. These type of mistakes are always the result of negligence and carelessness. The 'toon features the sad tale of Ensign Dibble who makes a wheels-up landing while day-dreaming. Other accidents highlighted by the cartoon include colliding with an aircraft on the ground, or departing the runway due to lack of paying attention on final.
