Seven young men sitting on the flight deck of the USS Essex (CV-9) aircraft carrier deck edge elevator in August of 1944 while at Eniwetok Atoll resupplying in preparation for the next assault against the Japanese. These men were all rear gunners in Curtiss SB2C-3 Helldiver dive bombers as part of VB-15 serving aboard the Essex receiving combat ribbons that day. From left to right back row, Aviation Radiomen 1stclass Paul Sheehan who flew with the squadrons second in command Lt. Roger Noyes, Paul was the βOld Manβ of the gunners and had more time in the Navy than any of the rest, he and his pilot Lt. Noyes would be shot down and killed just three months later in November while attacking a Japanese cruiser off the Philippine Islands.
Next was Aviation Radiomen 1stclass Bob Cribb, he flew with Lt. John Bridgers who lead Division 2 of VB-15, they somehow survived and came home. Next was Aviation Radiomen 1st class Arne Frobom, he flew with the squadrons commander, James Mini, although they were shot down too, they were picked up by a destroyer and returned to the Essex, they also survived.
Front row L to R, was Aviation Radiomen 1stclass Joe Laborde, he flew with Lt. Frank West, they too survived. And then thereβs Aviation Radiomen 2nd class Stanley Nelson Whitby, my fathers cousin. Stan had been shot down with his pilot Cliff Jordan just the month before in July while attacking the Japanese held island of Tinian. Stan had saved his injured pilots life by getting him out of the sinking aircraft and keeping him afloat till they were rescued, for that he got the βNavy and Marine Corps medal for Heroismβ. He also joined three exclusive clubs for VB-15, βThe Dunkers Societyβ for being shot down, ditching in the Pacific and surviving, one of only a handful of SB2c dive bomber teams that were able to chase and shoot down a Japanese Kate torpedo bomber, and Stan started to grow his first βstashβ. Next was Aviation Radiomen 2nd class Ray Kataja who flew with Lt. (jg) John Van Altena, they both survived and came home. And last was Aviation Radiomen 2nd class George Dwyer who flew with Lt. John Brodhead, third in command of the squadron, they too survived the war. Two months later after many more divebombing attacks against enemy targets, while attacking the Japanese Ansan Naval base on the Pescadores Islands, the South China Sea, Stan and his replacement pilot Lt. (jg) Earl Mallette were hit by antiaircraft fire while in their dive and were shot down near the naval base and killed, Oct. 13th 1944. But thatβs not the entire story. There are now people with the Department of Defense (DOD) CIV DPAA AP out of Peral Harbor Naval Base Oahu Hawaii that look for lost personnel killed during the war, Stan and Earl are now on the list, the DOD will be contacting the Nationalist Chinese Government in Taiwan for help in searching the waters around the Pescadores Islands. I truly hope this happens, Stan and Earl are still missing and somewhere entombed in their Helldiver at the bottom of what is today known as Magong Bay or just outside of the bay, Pescadores Islands South China Sea.

A shipwreck off the coast of Okinawa, Japan has been identified as that of USS Mannert L. Abele, a U.S. Navy destroyer that was sunk by a "human-guided kamikaze bomb" during World War II, authorities said Thursday.
The craft, named for a U.S. submarine commander, was the first U.S. warship to be sunk by a Japanese su***de rocket bomb, according to the Naval History & Heritage Command. It was sunk on April 12, 1945, when it was operating about 75 miles off the island's northern coast. Multiple Japanese aircraft appeared on the ship's radar, and the two engaged, with the warship damaging several aircraft until one of the planes crashed onto the warship.
That crash damaged the ship and was followed by a "rocket-powered human-guided bomb" that hit the ship near its waterline. The resulting explosion "caused the ship's bow and stern to buckle rapidly," the Naval History and Heritage Command said.
Eighty-four American sailors were killed in the sinking, according to the command.

βUnderstanding how things work and being an engineer led me to become a helicopter pilot and eventually to NASA. The path doesnβt necessarily have to be straight, but donβt limit yourself to what you know.ββ Capt. (Ret.) Sunita βSuniβ Williams, served 1978-2017
Today we recognize Capt. Sunita Williams in honor of
Williams was commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy, May 1987 and designated a Naval Aviator at Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) in July 1989, accumulating more than 3,000 flight hours in 30 aircraft over the course of her career. In June 1998 she was selected by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the Astronaut program, and in Sept. 2012, Williams became the 33rd commander of the International Space Station and was the second woman to do so. She has spent a total of 322 days in space and currently holds the record for total cumulative spacewalk time by a woman astronaut (50 hours and 40 minutes).
