Wow.... a true hero. I first read as a kid... about his crew's ordeal in Ragged Rugged Warriors by Martin Caidin....during their torpedo run on Kido Butai at Midway...their Marauder was a sieve when it landed.

Rest in peace sir!:salute:

I read the same book as a wee lad. Still have it too. It's also where I first read the story of the 22nd and 38th BG Marauders at Midway. Brave men...
