A WWII MEMOIR – FROM CHILDHOOD DREAMS TO NAVAL AVIATOR
We follow a boy’s passion for flying to become one of the unsung heroes of World War II—his extensive flight training, earning navy wings of gold, being an aviator aboard the USS Franklin in the Pacific theater, deaths of friends, destruction of his ship while being the agent of destruction of the enemy (a toll he keeps to himself), the eye-opening July 4 mission, being hit, returning safely to the Franklin, only to fly two more missions that day. A must read. — John Holzapfel, past Southold Town trustee, past Oysterponds Historical Society president, educator
A Naval Fighter Aviator
Not everyone is able to break the sound barrier.
Challenge the laws of physics to land on an aircraft carrier.
Willing to put themselves to the ultimate test in combat.
Few things in life has as much skin the game.
And when no longer in the cockpit . . .
Having been an ex-fighter Naval aviator –– stays forever.
