Indeed!

"He later joined the Marines and served in World War II and Korea."

Odd, I must have been mistaken. I thought he served on an aircraft
carrier in WW-2.

You are sorta right. He was a Marine pilot.

Thanks Richard. I remember the situation now, Quite some time ago he
was talking on Carson, about how he landed on a carrier in a Corsair.
and after landing, a green deck crewman from "da Bronx" came up to him
and asked "How you fly dat ting wit' dem busted winks?"

or at least thats how I remember the story.....
