Is he Gregg Mueller. Born California 17 August 1919. Enlisted in the USN in June 1939. Midshipman 2nd Class 1940. Ensign 19 June 1942. Annapolis 1943 (Graduated in the shortened three-year class June 1942). Made Lieutenant 1 July 1944. Lieutenant Commander 1952 (?), Commander January 1955. This officer retired in January 1963. Naval Designator 1310 and later 1313 (grades of aviator pilot?). He is listed in the USNA Yearbook for 1943.

I am looking for a navy pilot named Mueller who served in the Korean war in 1953. Can anyone put some meat on these very bare bones? I assume he served in WW2 but was still a Lieutenant in 1949 therefore he might not have seen active service. His record has the designation Av43 (is that pilot qualified in 1943?)

best regards

Keith
