Cdr George W. McFettridge
He commanded a fighter squadron after the Korean War but was obviously an experienced pilot. Did he serve as an aviator in WW2?

Many thanks chum, I believe he was born in 1918 so qualified as a pilot quite late.

Re: Cdr George W. McFettridge
Through your link to VF-153 I found this :)
Naval Academy graduate LCDR George McFetridge served as executive officer. VF-153 was McFetridge’s first flying billet, but his service as a blackshoe had taken him aboard three flattops in campaigns from Midway to Tarawa, including swimming away from USS Hornet (CV 8) when she was sunk off Guadalcanal. Many thanks Keith |
