"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. He was a Marine Corps Instructor/Test pilot and taught carrier flying with F-9F Panthers. *The WWII ended before he got a chance to fly combat missions. Korea? Different story - 85 combat missions as an artillery spotter in one of those O-1B/C (Cessna 170) type aircraft the Marines flew during Korea. Probably is one of the best examples of why there are only former Marines, not ex-Marines. Thanks for the info, Tom. |
