Comments: My father talked about his sevice on the USS Princeton many times. He was a radar tech for both on board radar and for the wing radar on F4U4 Corsairs. His service was during the Chosin Dam Bombing. Does anyone remember him? I also am looking for any photos of the USS Princeton CV37. My father passed away and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about his past, and any friends or shipmates of his.

I found out a few weeks ago that a book was published in late 1953 or early 1954 named Attack Carrier USS Princeton Air Group Fifteen. I never seen a copy of this book before I was discharged in Feb. 1954 and had forgotten about the picture being taken. If there is someone out there that has a copy of this book and would sell it, I am very much interested in buying it.

The morning we got to the line VA 195 sent off 16 Airplnes. I went down to the hanger deck to check on work on our other two planes. as I walked under the wing I heard on shot and picked up six shell casing, We were lucky as on of the shots had penetrated a wing tank and dumped gas on the deck. Luckely it did not catch fire or we would have had the same casualties as the Boxer
