Don't have anything on Fitzgerald except his dates of rank. Typical for the class of 1942.

More digging for me :) He definitely looks in his mid-late thirties so the USNA date isd a good start. My weekend I looking up. I just wish I had his second name.

Spot on Mr Leonard. He is Midshipman John N (Fitz, Jack or Jerry) Fitzgerald, class of '42. Seems to have an interest in radio telegraphy. He probably became an aviator post war.
