I was skipper of RVAW-120 and wing commander having relieved Joe Pariseau not too long after VAW-12 moved to Norfolk from Quonset Point and just as the E-2 was being introduced to the fleet. It was kinda like when the army was requesting funds for three new Curtiss bi-planes. Calvin Coolidge's response was "Why don't we just buy one and let the aviators take turns flying it." It was an exciting time playing musical chairs with the somewhat primitive black boxes. We wrote a pretty good syllabus for the E-2 and kept sending squadrons to Viet Nam. I was fortunate to have great people to work with: Chuck Berthe, Jack Larison, Dave Layton, Billy Lovett, and my close friend Len Oden who was an illustrious member of the community, being one of the first to become an admiral. Hal Bernsen was one of us and later distinguished himself during Desert Storm and made Rear Admiral. I was also delighted to learn from Walt Miesse that Jim Mulligan was at the last reunion and had been a member of the AEW community early in his career. Lu Hill, the first skipper of VAW 123 died about 3 years ago. He and I flew together. He had 123 aboard the Forrestal when they had that horrendous fire as they were getting ready, to launch their first strike against North Viet Nam. Ted Newark was the first skipper of VAW-122. He died in 2003. While on a mission over the seas near North Viet Nam and climbing through heavy rain he had a double flame out. He was at 24,000 feet so had some time to coax relights on both engines and proceed with his mission. Of such stuff are the AEW airmen made of. I'm sorry I can't take a more active role in the community. I don't get around too well any more. The injuries of that crash you alluded to are catching up on me, I'm afraid. I was shooting touch and gos in an F9F-8 at JTTU in Olathe Kansas when I had a flame-out right after take off at 300 feet. I had just completed War College and was on my way to being XO of an A-4 squadron. Was able to get back to duty and flying after a year recovering Thereafter I was Flag Sec, on COMFAIRJAX staff; then Air Boss on the FDR; then a tour on COMNAVAIRLANT staff then to CO of RVAW-120 and COMCARAEW Wing-12; went from there to being CO of CHIKASKIA (A beat up oiler} which we de-commissioned then got command of USS TOLOVANA over in WESPAC supporting operations off the coast of Viet Nam. She was an equally disgraceful oiler which we called the "Leaky-T"; Final Tour was as CO FAETULANT Retired Aug 31, 1974
Sheldon Larry Corner, a retired U. S. Navy Captain, a long-time Virginia Beach resident, and at one time its former Chief Deputy Treasurer, died Thursday, November 6, 2008, at his home. “Shel,” to all his friends, was born July 14, 1924, in Hazelton, Pennsylvania, the only child of Mary Perry and Edward V. Corner. He spent his childhood in Far Rockaway, on Long Island, New York. He married June Hildreth of Newton, Massachusetts, on August 27, 1949, and she preceded him in death after 51 happy years of marriage. He is now survived by his loving second wife, Nancy; and his children and their families: Steve, Saundra, Rex, Bailey, and Scott; Laurel Anne; and Richard, Kim, Meredith and Augie. After high school, Sheldon attended the Cooper Union and its Nerken School of Engineering in New York, for a year, and then enlisted in the Navy under the World War II V-5 Officer Training Program and was ordered into Naval Aviation – becoming a designated Naval Aviator in 1944. Over the years, he would fly nearly everything with a propeller – from C-45 Bugsmashers, to Curtiss Helldivers, to AD “Spads”, to E-2 Hawkeyes, and even Navy blimps. And in so doing, he became one of the Navy’s better-known unreconstructed prop guys.
Following a stint as a “plowback” flight instructor, he entered the light attack pipeline and served tours in VA-34 (nee VB-3) at NAS OCEANA, 1946 to 1948, and later in VA-75, then on the west coast. He deployed to the Far East, and also became very well acquainted with the Med over the years. While a Lieutenant, he attended the University of California and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Government, as a Magna Cum Laude graduate. Later tours of duty in Jacksonville, Florida, and at NAS Guantanamo Bay with the Fleet Training Group, were followed by orders to graduate school at the Naval War College.Some years after that, he also received a Masters Degree in Business Administration from Old Dominion University. Sheldon’s Naval career was decidedly rearranged in 1959 when, after returning to Virginia Beach and during jet transition training, he had to perform a crash landing in Olathe, Kansas. He required several months to recover from serious injuries, but he eventually fought his way back into flight status, and he subsequently served a tour onboard USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT as Air Boss. His return to Virginia Beach – again – after that was enduring. At NAS NORFOLK he became the first Commander of Air Wing TWENTY, the Atlantic Fleet’s Airborne Early Warning wing, and concurrently the first commanding officer of RVAW-120, the wing’s Fleet Replacement Training Squadron. He commanded two ships, and he had a major shore command, based in Norfolk but with detachments throughout the eastern U. S., before retiring in 1974 – having served 31 well-traveled years on active duty and earning many awards and unit decorations along the way.
His next claim to fame was as Chief Deputy Treasurer of the City of Virginia Beach for five years, in the late 1970s. Thereafter, he campaigned once for a seat on City Council – not successfully, but he threw a victory party anyway. He and June were members for many years of the oceanfront’s Galilee Episcopal Church, Sheldon having served twice as one of its vestrymen, and also as church treasurer for a time. He took a keen interest in City affairs, and was an exponent of the restoration of the Virginia Beach Oceanfront Lifeguard Station. He authored an ethics guideline document for use by the city’s governing bodies, and was long active in the Beach’s Clean the Bay Campaign. True to form, he was an avid boater, and could often be seen out on the Virginia Beach waterways or beaches, in one or another of the succession of boats which together comprised his own navy. He was a member of the Boy Scouts of America in his youth; a member at one time of the Norfolk and Jacksonville Navy Flying Clubs; and a long-time member of the U. S. Naval Institute, the Association of Naval Aviation, the Tailhook Association, and the Virginia Beach Sports Club

The Wind in the Chimes: A Father’s Farewell Whisper to
His Daughter
By C.C. Clark ISBN: 1-4107-5906-7 Reviewed by Laura Leiva
“The Wind in the Chimes” is a personal story
written by author C.C. Clark that depicts her relationship with her father
in the final years of his life as he battles Parkinson’s disease. CAPT
Charles H. Crabill, Jr. was a Naval officer and devoted husband and
father who receives the news that he has contracted the debilitating
disease, Parkinson’s, as this tender, poignant story opens. The author
begins to make amends to her father during the last months of his illness,
hoping to mend bridges and harsh feelings before it is too late. Vignettes
combine the past and the present as C.C. Clark shares the story of her
father as a Navy seaman to the elderly father she knows, surrounded by loved
ones. This author has done a wonderful job with her first book. Emotional
and inspiring, Clark encourages everyone to take a second look at those
relationships that have held us back. Her journey toward peace and
understanding was very well written and very interesting. Her inclusion of
excerpts from her father’s diaries gives the reader a glimpse of the man her
father was.

Captain John J. Dittrick Jr., "Jack," 73, died peacefully Veteran's Day, Nov. 11, 2009. His strength, kindness, integrity, sense of humor and uplifting presence will be dearly missed by his family, friends, neighbors and work colleagues. Born in Elizabeth, N.J., May 3, 1936, beloved son to Dorothy and John Dittrick Sr., Jack grew up to become a distinguished Navy pilot, Navy captain, professor and vice dean, and most dearly, a beloved husband, father, uncle, cousin and friend. A Class of 1958 U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Jack pursued a naval career, while also earning his master's degree and doctorate. He and his wife Carolyn were married Dec. 29, 1962 and in 1964, they moved to Monterey, Calif., where Jack received a master's degree in operations analysis from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and subsequently taught at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., where their daughter Jill was born in 1968. Jack's naval career spanned 29 years with distinguished responsibilities including deployments as a naval aviator flying the carrier based E-1B Tracer and the E-2 Hawkeye, both Airborne Early Warning Aircraft, aboard the carriers USS Independence, USS Saratoga, USS Shangri La, USS F.D. Roosevelt and the USS America to Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean. He was the officer in charge of the E-1B detachment on the USS Roosevelt and the commanding officer of both VAW-124 on the USS America and RVAW-120 training squadron located in Norfolk. Following that, he served on several staffs with the chief of Naval Operations, CINCLANTFLT and participated in a SECNAV sponsored study examining the roles and capabilities of the U.S. Navy. In spite of earthquakes and having to master the Italian language, Jack's tour as commanding officer of the U.S. Naval Support Activity Base in Naples, Italy, was the most challenging and rewarding tour of his naval career. Jack, Carolyn and Jill returned from Italy in 1986, where Jack then served as the chief of staff at the Safety Center. He retired from the Navy in 1987, and shortly after launched his career as a visiting professor of statistics at The College of William & Mary School of Business. In 1992, Jack became the associate dean for undergraduate programs at the University of Southern California School of Business, where he initiated a mentor program to help link students to real-world experience. He was made vice dean and traveled to numerous countries to bring in foreign students to the business program. He also initiated an annual nationwide case competition held at USC. In June 2001, Jack returned to The College of William & Mary as assistant dean of the School of Business.

I hitched a ride to Cleveland with him one time in the winter in a TBM. He ran a tank dry over the mountains of PA and laughed about it. I almost went out the hatch, due to his reputation. (I had read the accident report) At one time prior to that trip, he had taken 3 passengers from Quonset, back to Ohio and on the way back to Q he had bailed out over the Mountains in PA. The plane had crashed (good landing) but all 3 crew were killed from massive skull fractures inflicted by practice bombs coming forward from rear bulkhead in radio compartment. Gumber claimed he had told them to bail out.

I am so sorry to have to tell you that my Dad passed away 10/29/2005. He was my best friend, so I guess I have been in denial for a while. He fell in the house while my Mom was helping him to his chair in the family room. He hit his head on the hardwood floor. He was taking coumadin, so his brain began to bleed. He went through surgery that evening and came out of it well, but I guess he was sick and tired of living his life in the body that he had. He lingered on for nine days. First he got pneumonia, then his body stopped digesting the liquid food they were giving him, then his kidneys began to fail, then he got septic. I feel so bad that I told them to do the operation. I have such a hole in me, I can't stop crying for my loss. I talk about his naval career with my Mom, his wife for 61 years. I am so proud of him. I told him all the time, but not for the Navy. He also taught me to love nature, the animals, and the miracles of growing corn in a circle. He was quite a busy person all his life, even though he looked like he was just reading a book. He was a student of the Civil War until the end. My Dad was one of nine children, 8 boys and 1 girl. He married and had six children, 5 girls and 1 boy. When he went to the commissary he always bought a lot of toilet paper. He was a great guy. He was my Daddy-O

CAPT Jerald C. Lawrence Died in VA 2004 8th CO VAW-12 Not the Gerald Lawrence in West Virginia.
Captain J.C. Lawrence was the CO of VAW 12 when I arrived and he was a very colorful man-swore and drank like a sailor! After he left VAW-12 he became CO of one of the CVS’s, I don’t remember which one. There was a story about him at that time that made Life magazine. It seems he and some of the Admiral’s staff members enjoyed a night on the town in Boston when the ship was anchored in Cape Cod Bay. When it was time to return to the ship, the boats stopped running because of heavy seas So JC and his pals requested a Coast Guard cutter that was tied up nearby, and asked to be taken to their ship. When the LT(jg) who was the OD refused, JC and company commandeered the cutter and went out to the carrier. In coming alongside the carrier they collided with it and damaged the cutter. My memories of this incident are rather hazy, but I do remember, it made the news big time, drunk and disorderly, navy big brass, etc. I often wondered what became of him. Have you ever heard this story and do you know if any one has or remembers the details better than I? I think there are some other stories about JC Lawrence too – Sayles
CDR Paskoski has stories
Story fm the Independence 1961 crew Capt. J.C. Lawrence, better known as Jesus Christ Lawrence in those days (early l960) He spied an AT reading a book under the wing of an AD4W, sent the Leading Chief down to bring the kid topside. It was a Tech Manual; the kid was troubleshooting the radar. Case dismissed. In April l960, ATC John Fluke and I received a commission as Ensign. We were brought to the CO and he swore us in. It was customary to have a "wetting down" party and invite officers that we had served with, including the CO. I lived in the Enlisted Trailer Park on base and there was a rec room so I set it up, with a fellow Chief as bartender, and we were in business. I purchased several bottles of bourbon, etc., but only one bottle of scotch. My bartender swore that Capt Lawrence drank that entire bottle and, when he left, the only exit was through a room where a bingo game was going and a friend told me later that he bounced off several vertical beams on the way out Colorful CO -Ed Harmon

I walked into a newly opened upscale small restaurant in Raleigh, NC this noon and the owner/chef came out to meet me. Name- David Lopuszynski I asked him if he had any relatives in NY or New England Told him I had flown with Walt Lopuszynski and he said I must mean Walt Lopus, who was his uncle. Said Walt had died within the past 2-3 weeks. Said that Walt was one of nine brothers/two sisters and there are cousins scattered everywhere -Flip Shoemaker 2/6/0
Walt went to work for Honeywell in Buffalo at about the same time I was at IBM in Boston. Some of us from Boston left IBM and started ROMAC, a placement firm. We expanded into other cities and Walt joined our Buffalo office. He later went to Computer Task Group and we stayed in touch for several years -Brad Barton

As an AT1, flew in the back compartment operating the APS-20A radar (ASW) Due to the quick thinking of the pilot (Ensign McLuckie) our pitch black night 'cold cat' shot in the winter of '50 ended on the deck.

The Horn invited several junior officers to his home in Quonset. He had us sitting around the pool that summer afternoon & called his dog out This was some kind of shepherd as I recall it, but in any case it was one big fierce looking beast.. The Horn called it to his side & commanded that it "Smile" The dog did so, exposing vicious looking great white fangs That was one scary looking beast We were very impressed & The Horn had a good laugh I've tried over the years with every dog I owned to duplicate that trick, but never succeeded- George Markovits

I took him flying in my Comanche the night we had his son down to our flying club to visit and represent the ARTCC, but he never warmed up and wanted to come visit or exchange memories. He did accounting. Then he moved away. We had contacted ARTCC and they sent young Fred who said could his dad come? We said sure, and when I heard where he lived, on the next road over from me, I said I’ll bring him. He said he’d flown in the navy and I said so had I Then I asked him what plane and he said AD5W.

I got to thinking the other day about what it meant to be in VC-12 on cruise in 1955. That was only 10 years after WWII - As a 23 year old, that didn't catch my attention nearly as much as it does today at 72. Long range search radar coupled with aircraft control was new, and anyone above the rank of Lt. who understood what we were about had either done homework or remained in the dark. This, of course included Air Group Commanders and all shipboard personnel. It also included our own pilots, who had their own stuff to keep up with. Some of them resented being "bus drivers" instead of jet jockeys, and who could blame them?
Two stories illustrate what I'm pointing to:
1. One evening we were launched for our three hour flight, and our only assignment was to get the position of another force in our area. As soon as wheels were up and radar turned on, we saw the force and reported it - as anyone knowledgeable at all would guess - so we just tooled around till time to come home.
2. From Iwakuni, one plane was assigned to go to the west coast of the island (can't remember the field) to pick up an admiral and bring him back. I was in the back of the AD-4, Jerry Dempsey flew the plane. Soon after starting out, his nav gear broke down, and weather was not good. It was no sweat for me to steer us through the valley corridor along the mountain ridge - contrast was very sharp. We got to the coast, went out over the bay, turned around and headed to the runway which ran right to edge of water. We came out of the soup at 500' lined up perfectly and landed without incident. Poor Jerry had been sweating the whole way, and afterward pilot respect for what could be done from the back seat went up to the top. They started to strut their stuff among pilots from other squadrons - we really belonged! I've thought about the F2H pilots who had to trust us while we directed an "intercept" in the middle of the night. And I can only guess at the equipment sophistication that's in play now compared to the primitive stuff we had

The Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association will induct two former Syracuse University wrestlers into its Hall of Fame on Sunday, March 5, 2006 Ken Hunte (SU Class of 1950) and Ed Rooney ’55 are part of the 2006 EIWA Hall of Fame class that will be honored prior to the final round of the 102nd EIWA Championship.
A two-time All-American, Rooney placed second and fourth in the NCAA Championship and won two EIWA titles, in addition to recording second and third place finishes at the EIWA. In four EIWA tournaments his two losses were to Olympian Frank Bettucci and to Donald Rumsfeld. His freshman bout with Bettucci made the Top 10 list of EIWA bouts at the 100th anniversary gala. In 1954 Rooney and his Syracuse coach, Joe McDaniel, drove to Nationals in Oklahoma, where Rooney placed second and earned 10th place for his team. They drove on to the AAUs in San Diego, where he placed second and scored the most falls. That year Rooney was the Outstanding Wrestler at the Wilkes and EIWA tournaments.
Rooney became a Navy carrier pilot aviator on Airborne Early Warning flights before returning to Syracuse to coach and earn his teaching degree. His freshman teams formed the nucleus of the 1963 Syracuse EIWA team champion which placed fourth at NCAA Championship. After earning his teaching degree, he moved to Long Island to become a teacher, coach and life guard.

William C. Schember 910-395-1664 Patricia Ann 4313 Jonathan Ct Wilmington, NC 28412-2499 Patricia Ann (widow)
I was married to William C. Schember, who died on April 10th, 1999. I think some of the proudest and happiest days of his earlier years were his years on various flat tops just before and during the Korean Conflict. I just recently parted with his flight logs and yearbooks from the various ships he served on during his 5 plus years in the Navy and gave them to our son Scott. Bill loved flying as a Radar Operator and spent about 26 years of his later life with American and Pan Am Airlines in various positions. Bill and I spent our 25th wedding anniversary in Charleston SC and visited Patriots Point where the Yorktown is berthed He had taken me to so many ships during the years that I told him, "You go ahead and have fun I will visit the gift shop and then sit and wait for you on the dock” I found a book in the shop about Corsairs which I knew he would like I went back and sat on the dock looking through the book Lo and behold, I looked up and there was Bill on the flight deck with his head in one of the engines I laughed as I knew he was in his element and reliving experiences from the past He loved the book that I bought him and looked at it over the years I don't readily have his service records available, but I think he was in the Navy from '46-51 Bill was born in 1928 at Queens County, New York and lived on Long Island, New York until 1990 when we retired to Wilmington, NC I know he belonged to a Navy Club that helped bring the Intrepid to New York Harbor Sincerely, Patricia A.

As a young ensign, Shroyer had been one of the pilots airborne off the Gambier Bay in a TBM which was sunk in the Taffy 3 episode in Leyte Gulf. He had ditched when out of gas
Radioman Louis Vilmer Jr of GAMBIER BAY's Composite Squadron VC-10,
"...Ensign Shroyer, John Britt, and myself were among the first to be
launched when the order was given to clear the flight deck When Ensign
Shroyer made his first pass at a Japanese ship, he fired rockets and 50
caliber machine guns. Gunner Britt also fired his 50 caliber gun, from the
ball turret. When we broke through the clouds we were extremely low and did
not have enough power to pull up and away...we were finally able to pull
away and gain altitude. Ensign Shroyer told me over the intercom that he had
been unable to open the bomb bay doors with the control in the cockpit and
instructed me to try the one in the radioman's compartment It worked Shroyer
chose the Tone Class cruiser and began his run firing his 50 calibers I
opened the bomb bay doors when instructed. When the bombs cleared the bay,
Shroyer was able to close the doors with his control. Britt began firing his
turret gun as we pulled up and away I immediately turned to the notch window
under the planes tail to observe the hits. The bombs did not hit the
cruiser, HIJMS Chikuma; They hit the water just a few feet behind it
and went off as depth charges Planes following us reported that the
ship stopped dead in the water..."

He became ill quite suddenly and only lasted a few weeks. He was a mainstay of Detachment 34 of VAW 12 aboard the USS Lake Champlain. He made the 39,000 (or maybe 36,000) landing aboard the "Champ". We were aboard the Champ when she was the last straight deck carrier in active service. Of interest is that Tom's younger brother Richard was a gunship pilot in Vietnam. He now lives in West Virginia where Tom also lived for years after his retirement from the Navy. Tom loved golf and when I last saw him in July he looked great and was on top of his game, enjoying life and "happy as a clam at high tide." Don Lundberg

It is with a heavy heart that I pass sad news about John (Spineripper) Waples from his brother Bill. John was killed in a single car accident last night (March 14, 2007) on his farm in Pulaski, TN. He will be cremated and his ashes will be spread on a hill on his property. Capt John M. Waples was a superlative Naval Aviator and a true Attack Pilot. He began his Naval Aviation career in Spads, transitioned to the Skyhawk, commanded an A-7 squadron, an Airwing on the Ranger, and fleet oiler. He was known for his direct approach to problem solving, with near God like clarity and reasoning. John was an inspiration to the JO's, was highly respected by his contemporaries and known up the chain of command as forthright, dependable and aggressive. Spineripper was a true warrior. He would take the air battle to the enemy, no target was too difficult, no threat too great. He was my wingman in May, 1967 during the first USN attack on a NVN Mig base, Kep, and rolled up a pair of MiG-17s on the runway during the raid. Two months later in the middle of the strike group, he called bandits at Ironhand six-o’clock, alerting the Gators, and in the ensuing fight it was F-8’s - 3, Migs – 0. John was born and bred to fight. He would steam and stew in ops monitoring any strike he was not on, suited up, ready to launch. He was the original shock and awe combat leader. Waples was one of the greats of Naval Aviation. He had over 1300 carrier landings, over 400 at night, all the hard way, and a bunch of combat missions. I'm sure there are many Waples fans out there who can weigh in with TINS tales about the Spineripper May he rest in peace Kit Sanders

E.V. (Ed) Eney AT3 in VAW 11
Ed and I were in the same team that left VC12 to go to Korea in 1951 We were good friends and I was on "ready plane" duty in VC11 the night he was killed. His AD4W was on a training mission about 50 miles off the coast of California and were apparently at a low altitude. They did not return from the mission and the next day remnants of the wreckage were found by a Coast Guard PBM. I verified that the wallet retrieved from the ocean was that of Ed’s, along with a few other personal items. Ed was an AT2 at the time of his death and looking forward to being discharged just a few months after his death in 1952 -Roger Harper AT1, VC11 & VC12

He flew into the water on a night approach to the America while operating off San Juan. I was on the America at the time as Air Ops/AAW for the Battle Group Commander (Fredericks’ recollection)
Bob had his accident while flying from the Nimitz in the late 70's I was the navigator on the Nimitz and we were conducting work-ups around Puerto Rico. During a night recovery his plane disappeared on final a few minutes after he reported departing marshal. The weather was very foul with numerous thunderstorms, so we formed the available ships in line abreast and went back the final bearing conducting a visual search but had no luck. The next day I learned (second hand) the helo had recovered his helmet (Fredericks’ subsequent recollection)

Dear Dr. Smith, I wanted to thank-you again for the information you’ve
sent. Better late than never to find out about what my Dad did. I didn't
thank you before for the VAW patch-thanks so much. I knew I had seen that
design before. When I was @ my Moms this week I saw a coffee cup with it on
it along with my Dad's name. I feel like I'm finding pieces to a puzzle that
had been lost for a very long time. Yes I cry sometimes when I'm reading
some of the information, and notes, but I'm still glad to know it. I'm part
of him, and I want to know all there is to know. I used to pray that GOD
would somehow let him peak down from Heaven to see my life. I would have
wanted him to see that I married a wonderful man that loves me, and see our
three wonderful sons. We have a simple but happy life-married 25 years this
November. Believe it or not the 45 year old daughter of a navy pilot has
never flown before! I booked my trip to Pensacola 2 days ago. My oldest and
youngest sons will be traveling with me. Unfortunately my husband and other
son can't go. We're excited about meeting CDR Carson. This is my husband's
e-mail address. I rarely get on the computer. Too much to do! Your letter
was so informative. I appreciate your explanations. I am a visual learner,
so it helped to see the plane and read your explanation. Again I appreciate
all you've done. My husbands e-mail address is

This incident happened around the time of Reveille; The Fudd had launched and the deck was spotted for the next launch with many aircraft spotted aft on the flight deck. The ship told the Fudd that they would pull the (aircraft on the) deck forward and get them aboard. The announcement over the 1MC was the standard "Flight Quarters, Flight Quarters, all flight deck personnel man their stations". The word "immediately" was not used. Most of the plane captains, plane handlers, etc. were either B-S'ing or at chow and did not get the feeling of urgency to man their stations immediately. Consequently the deck never got pulled forward in time for that Fudd to make it aboard and the Fudd ditched alongside the ship. -Folcik

William A. Mitchell AMH2(PO-5), He was the detachment's in-flight maintenance aircrewman An E1B had to divert to DaNang with engine problems and "Bill" was flown off the Independence in the ship's COD The COD crashed in the ocean and "Bill" was lost. Close friend in high school of Skip Moyer.
William A. Mitchell was a passenger on the USS Independence, CVA62, ship's C1A/COD along with Master Chief Petty Officer Williams, the detachments senior enlisted maintenance person (a third passenger might have been on board also). The C1A crew was planning for a deck launch off the waist catapult area and then fly Mitchell and Williams to Da Nang The detachment had an E1B there that had diverted for a maintenance problem (possibly an unsafe landing gear) As the C1A crossed the waist, it lost an engine and crashed in the water. The pilot, co-pilot, and Williams (and possible third person) survived the crash. Mitchell did not. He is listed on "The Wall" His home of record was Philadelphia, PA He was 21 years old
Peter Mongilardi CDR ENS-LT(jg) in VAW-12; New Jersey 1954 aboard USS Sicily, Born 7/1/25; died June 25, 1965
Pete and I were friends as cadets and we received our wings on the same day in February, 1946 from RADM Jocko Clark, who had been skipper of the famous Fighting Lady in WWII. There was something almost magic about Pete. He excelled in everything he did. He was the best pilot I've ever known. He was quiet and laid back and drove a beautifully restored 1939 Cadillac convertible In today's vernacular, he was real cool. He married a beautiful girl name Pat. Pete and Pat made a great couple, were very popular and admired by all who knew them. In later years, I heard several senior officers state that, in their opinion, Pete was on a fast track to make Admiral. Even though we were friends, I didn't see him very much at Quonset Point because of the way our different teams were scheduled for deployments CDR Mongilardi was C.O. of VA-153 until May of 1965 when he was appointed CAG 15 of CORAL SEA. The carrier had left the Viet Nam area on 27 May and was well on its way home when it was turned around for more combat duty as the tempo of the war increased. Pete was leading two other A-4's on an armed recon mission when he spotted a small bridge over the Song Cho river about 10 miles northwest of Thranth Hoa As the formation rolled in to attack, Mongilardi's aircraft was struck by 37 mm flak. His wing man then lost sight of him. No wreckage of his aircraft was ever found. (A4 website says he was lost 6/25/65) He was the first CAG lost in the Viet Nam war. Back in March 1965, he survived damage to his A-4, when it had to be "towed" back to the ship by a tanker as his aircraft was leaking fuel almost as fast as he was receiving it- Wm Campbell
Vincent D. Monroe LT(jg) NAOC Intrepid 1960. Killed in Viet Nam 1967
LCDR Dick Morrow killed in an A6 in strike mission over Viet Nam, Dick Morrow- after VAW-12 he also went to PG School. Dick went on to fly A-6s. The last word on him was 2 MIGs were chasing him north of Hanoi to the north of a thunderstorm. He never made it out the other side.
While I was on Coral Sea at Yankee Station, I first read the report on LCDR Dick Morrow's loss The date of his loss is 11/02/67. He was the pilot of a VA-196 A-6 off the USS Constellation. He and his B/N, Lt J. Wright, were declared MIA. On October 3, 1973, DOD declared Dick and his B/N "Killed in Action, body not recovered" In August 1978, North Vietnam returned ten sets of remains. Two of the sets of these remains were identified as Dick and his B/N on Sep 11, 1978. The source for this information and a photo of Dick may be seen at http://www.virtualwall.org/dm/MorrowRD01a.htm -Speed

LT(jg) Percy Musgrave (older brother of the astronaut, Story Musgrave <http://www.spacestory.com>) killed on a catapult shot on the Wasp 3/14/59 with Jack Henry Lindquist (supra)
Story Musgrave 407-390-0221 8572 Sweetwater Trail Kissimmee, FL 34747-1519 storymusgrave@hotmail.com is his brother. Thank you so much for sending along all the details of operations on the Wasp and my brother's accident. I guess we may never get the cause of the faulty cat shot nor will we ever know if the situation was recoverable in the best of hands. I visited the Wasp when it returned to shore. No one could explain the events of the faulty launch but many of the pilots were very forthcoming and told me they could have saved it. So, almost 50 years later, I don't know what caused the bad shot and don't know for sure if at that point it could have been saved. I was an electrician, instrument technician, mechanic and plane captain on AD 1's through AD 6's and I flew in the right seat of AD 5's in Korea, on the U.S.S. Wasp and at Kaneohe MCAS with VMA 251 and VMA 212, 1954 to 1956. As an aircraft mechanic and as an 18,000+ hour civilian and military pilot with over 1000 functional check flights in military aircraft I do know that most aviation accidents are caused by human error, not by mechanical failures and that is where I must rest with this one.

One speculation was that the rear seat heater blew up. AD-5W's all had one installed and most operators were scared to use them because of the proven dangers of an explosion! There was a light off procedure that took about an extra 10 to 20 seconds to do it right. There was a small operational panel in the rear compartment, just above and in front of where the two hatches joined the airframe and it had an ON switch, Light Off button and a caution light which for some reason was yellow and an abort light that was red. The red Light was the one that you watched for! The procedure for light off was to Arm the system, "Switch On", press the Light Off button and release it when the Yellow light came on! Of course at any time that the red light came on, abort the Light Off, turn the system off and freeze your buns off! It heated the aft compartment and the pilot and co-pilot also! This system used 115/145 sprayed in a mist as a fuel to heat the chamber, signed Bullet Bob,
BUT
The fatal crash of Jim Noland, Ed Stuart and Robert Sperl happened on February 6, 1956 and was in an AD-4 - not the 5W; I was one of the controllers on the exercise out of JAX. There was no heater in the rear of the 4 that I ever saw. There were flares stored there, and I dropped several that evening while Bill Edwards and I looked for signs of life along the beach. The official cause of the accident was listed as pilot error - assuming that vertigo was the main factor - it was a very rainy afternoon. They last reported being some 13 miles from shore on their way in. Bill and the other pilots were not pleased that pilot error was always the assumption when cause could not be determined. The only debris that washed ashore included a flight jacket, hard hat, and some engine pieces - indicating that the plane probably hit at a steep angle (Signed Mark Poole, VC-12 '54-'56)
Bullet Bob is certain he had an AD-5W and persists in his belief about the heater. The photos he preserved of the pieces that were found are labeled Crash of AD-5W.

I knew Ozzie and his wife pretty well. Being one of the bachelors in the squadron, they invited me over for dinner several times. They lived in East Greenwich. Ozzie was a little guy and his wife was taller than him. They were both from Texas. He graduated from the Naval Academy and she from SMU. Since everyone called him Ozzie, I'll bet that very few people in the squadron actually knew his first name. He was one of the Training Officers in the Ops Dept. in which I was one of the Flight Schedules Officers. I don't remember their titles, but there were several LT's in the Ops Dept. that had something to do with Training. –Capt Bill Campbell

A single round from the ground hit him in the head. Pilot in the backseat flew the aircraft back to base Story is in book "Flying Black Ponies" available from Naval Institute. When we returned from the MED in '65 with Det-15 I detached and joined Det North Island This was VAW-12's E-2 transition Det. At about the same time LT(jg) Pete got orders to join an AD squadron and got partial credit for a MIG while onboard CV-11. When AD squadrons started to be decommisioned or transition to A-6As Pete went to VAL-4 where he got hit KIA 5/23/69- Jim Workman
Another version: Flying from the USS Intrepid on October 9th 1966, Lt Pete Russell was in a flight of four VA-176 Skyraiders on a ResCap south of Hanoi. They were jumped by four Mig-21's Lcdr Leo Cook, LT(jg) Tom Patten, LT(jg) Jim Wiley, and Pete, destroyed one, and probably two of the enemy aircraft in the ensuing aerial gun battle. The remaining two Mig's left the scene. Pete was a student of mine in Corpus before going to VAW-12 While I was in a sister squadron, VA-165, we were on Intrepid together that day. Regards, Speed (He seems to have survived that day –Ed)

LT Norman
Martin Sassi (asymmetrical loading, engine failure or fully deflected
rudder jam on cat shot USS Valley Forge July 1958; I am told by one source
it was a deck run accident. Can that be?? LT(jg) Martin Kennedy & AE2
Carpenter A. Batchelor died too. “Asymmetrical loading” is defined as a
catapult shot from the starboard cat with the wind 10 degrees or more off
the port bow while carrying a drop tank on the right main wing station. This
blocks the wind from the wing insuring that there is inadequate lift on the
starboard wing so the port wing comes up as the starboard wing stalls and
there is an aggravated spin. This was poorly understood in our day. (I never
heard a word about it.) The ship’s captain has got to put the carrier into
the wind; nothing the pilot can do about it if he doesn’t. It’s likely what
happened to the unfortunate Neil Hopkins on the Wasp on St Patrick’s Day
1959.
