My great uncle died in ww2 in a crash landing on a carrier. Don't know where, when or how. I heard he hit the structure on the carrier. I'm going to try to find out.

Two uncles that served aboard "tin cans" as ships cook. One was aboard the USS WOOLSEY DD-437 late 41 to early 47. The other I don't know. A third uncle was at Iwo Jima with his Marine group.

I think you guys are forgetting that this thread is about my uncle's copilot peeing in General Travis' face.
