I don't have someone to be listed but my father, Loyal W. Puckett, served aboard
this fine ship & I object (as he would if he were still alive) to the 4 letter
words used on this page. All involved deserve better.

My father, Edward B. Pierce, died on January 30, 1945, in the South Pacific while
on board the Yorktown. He is survived by his widow, Gwendolyn, and two daughers,
Dorinda and Carol Ann. He was buried on the island of Ullithie, an atoll in the
Pacific, until the hostilities ceased, and in 1949, his body was brought to rest
to the National Cemetary in Mobile, Alabama. He was 23 years old. I was 2 1/2
and my sister Carol Ann was 6 months old. If there are any sailors out there who
might remember him, please contact me. My E-Mail is rholloway@zebra.net.
I have a great deal of Yorktown memoribilia I would share with you. The only other
sailor's Name I have is Henry Mickelson - Boonsville, Indiana.

I believe I have the original of this poster.
It was made by Ensign Ziegler of Torpedo Three on our trip Feb 17,1945 to become
the first carrier planes over Toyko. I also have the original picture made in

It was later on the front page of the New York Times. It is an F6F of Fightin
3.

Nice website. I was with HS 4, on the Yorktown, during the Westpac 64-65 cruise.
HS-4 was, at that time, and still is known as the "Black Knights." You may want
to correct this on your "Air Groups" page. Can you suggest any links that I might
try, to contact the guys that were in HS 4--- at the same time as me.

From: "James Kohl"
I recently found a cast aluminum ashtray in the shape of a carrier (the ash area
corresponds with the flight deck) and about 10.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" to the top of
the island. It's marked USS YORKTOWN CVA-10 on the top opposite the island and
has the initials FZ (I think) roughly etched in the island side. I found it very
interesting and would appreciate any info you may have on it.

Subject: 5Th Division
Very nice site! Keep up the good work!
There seems to be an error in the description of the 5th division. The 5th division
was responsible for the loading operations and maintenance of the guns. They were
seldom responsible for aiming the guns. Fox division, Fire Controlmen, was always
responsible for the aiming the guns whether manually or automatic. Also, the Gunnery
Department consisted of the ship's first thru sixth division, Fox division and
the Marine Detachment.

Was in VS 23, 1966,67,68, Made 1.7Wespacs Was the first aircraft at Kaui after
the crash, The guy flying in # 4 seat was a young personelmen that had just check
into the squadron and was up for a sit seeing ride. He lost his arm. I stayed
on Kauai and investigated the accident.
Friends and I had a house up in Spring Valley some of the old squadron guys might
remember. Called ourselves the Surfing Six. John Aske, Mike Connor, Bill Holden
can't remember the rest.
I flew with LCDR Spraker,LTjg Leeburn, #4 seat Endinio, AT3 Was flying the night
that NU13 went down. They went inside Chinese air space of an island called Hiannan.
I believe it was a SAM that got them. Flew in the North Sea of Japan when the
Koreans took the Pueblo. I think that we flew for 57 days straight. I know it
was cold and now foul weather gear on the Yorktown.
Have a flight map of the tracks that we flew in the Gulf if you would like it
for your site. You can'timagine the excitement and the flood of old memories when
I hit this site.
Thank You for taking the time to set this up. I can't tell you how much it means
to me just to look at it. Any old shipmates please get a hold of me.

A note about the Mystery Poster
Hi! I have just been searching for a more detailed biography of Tokyo Rose...
Here comes an excerpt of what I am just translating for a local company here:
P4615: Tokyo Rose (1916-) Tokyo Rose (1916-) Tokyo Rose's real Name was Iva Ikuko
Toguri d'Aquino, an American of Japanese parentage. She was in Japan when war
broke out and she began work for the Japanese Broadcast Corporation. She transmitted
messages intended to lower the morale of Allied troops. The seductive tones of
her voice earned her the nickName Tokyo Rose, coined by US troops in the Pacific.
Her standard performance consisted of sexy chatter interspersed between popular
tunes of the day. She would typically make a reference to a soldier's "girl back
home drinking with some fellow who's rolling in money". In reality, her messages
were more a cause for amusement than demoralization, and she became something
of a favorite with the troops. After the war she was tried for treason and in
1948 she was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. The poster
apparently reminds of this person.
Regards, Radek Vondracek.

These article need not be date sensitive. All posts may be used by CV associations,
