Comments: I was at Pensacola 1951, then on to Texas, San Fran and San Diego. I flew off the USS Yorktown CV10 from 1953-54 with both a straight deck and later the angled deck. The Cougar was a fun plane and I had some real adventures.
I would like to connect with others who were there with me.

Comments: I'm a former Marine who served 1960-1963. I like to collect Korean War vintage stuff. Recently I purchased a nylon jacket on the internet with a leather name tag "Dave Sample AO3 VLF 153 CAG 15". And on one sleve is an American Flag and on the other sleeve is a C patch. I googled Dave Sample and up came the site with the information. If Dave want's his jacket back I would gladly send it to him. JJ White

Comments: I lost this address and just found it. I am still alive and kicking and will be 75 in late May. I was an aviation ordnanceman on the USS Princeton CVA 37 and then the Yorktown CVA 10. I did see Gerry Miller on a program about the Carriers way back when and I think he made Admiral. He knew how to play the game mand was the best skipper a feller ever had!
I sold soap for him!
I would love to hear from any old pals from that time!
