Commander Ed Wendy Wendorf USN On his very first combat mission, with VF-16, he was hit by flak, which disabled his compass and radio; downed two Japanese aircraft, was badly wounded in a dogfight, and bleeding heavily flew 120 miles back to his carrier - the USS Lexington, without flaps, tailhook, or brakes. Recovered aboard, he was sent to the sick bay, and almosy immediately the Lexington was hit by an aerial torpedo that flooded the sick quarters. He just escaped with his life! He survived to fly during the Truk raids, took part in the Marianas Turkey Shoot, and survived a ditching during the Mission Beyond Darkness. He finished the war with 6 victories.
