"My crew: In front AW-1 Al Masingale, hoist crewman and AM-3 Teddy Ray, door gunner. I'm the tall guy standing on the left. My co-pilot was Lt. JG Rob Springer. Each of my 3 crewmen received the Silver Star for our successful rescue."
"I feel fine. All in a day's work. But why can't I stop shaking and sweating?"
"Here's my Mom, 'winging me', with my Naval Aviator wings on graduation day, 5 Feb. 1959 at Pensacola Naval Air Station."
