Re: Ensign Duncan transfers from USS West Virginia Sep.1941
Duncan was an interesting fellow. He survived a horrendous flight deck crash (seen towards the end of the movie "Midway") in 1951 and after rehab went on with his career. Met him once that I remember for sure. When my fathers tour as CO of USS Ranger was up in 1962, Duncan was his relief.
Duncan and my father had briefly served together at TacTest at NAS Patuxent in the late 40's before my father went to VF-17A, but that was before I was even a gleam in anyone's eye. |
