Did you know that on Sept 30 1951 Private Eastwood was a passenger in AD-1Q 09383, which was flying from NAS Seattle to Mather AFB. The pilot became lost in bad weather and ditched off Point Reyes.
The pilot was Naval Lt, (jg) P. C. Anderson. Eastward swam to shore and Anderson paddled to shore.
Has anybody ever identified any aircraft flown by Hall of Fame and Boston Red Sox baseball player Ted Williams, who flew with the Marines in WWII and in Korea (and lost several years of baseball doing so)? Or the any of the bombers flown by Jimmy Stewart or George McGovern (I think it was) over Europe in WWII?
