Re: Ensign Duncan transfers from USS West Virginia Sep.1941
Well, that was fun.
Out of 518 graduates of the class of 1939, I can identify 151 as being designated as naval aviators; that's 29%, about average. For comparison, the class of 1938 had 438 graduates of whom at least 115 went to aviation, a little over 26%.
Additionally, out of 220 non-graduates from the class of 1939, there were 7 that I can identify as naval aviators.
Out of the 158 total aviators from the class, I can identify 15 who were killed in action and 16 killed in non-combat aircraft crashes, all of whom were from the graduates side of the ledger..
I can post or send a list, whichever you want.
