Marvin Dowdy Norton (USNA'39)
Enters flight school in September 1941. Qualifies as a pilot in 1942 (?). He serves in the USN until the 1960s. His medal bars indicate a lot of service in WW2 but despite being a qualified pilot I can only see an Air Medal (with a "1" device?). He nevertheless has five battle stars (two silver, three bronze) on his Asiatic-pacific campaign medal together with Philippine campaign medals.
He does not appear to have served in the Korean or Vietnam wars.
Can anyone shed light on his WW2 service?
regards
Keith
