As many young men did with the outbreak of WWII, my father enlisted and entered the Navy. In 1943, not long after completing Naval Air Tactical Training, he was assigned to the Pacific Theater, primarily as a tail gunner and navigator on a Douglas SBD Dauntless, for dive bombing and naval scout missions. At the close of the war, he was aboard the USS Cumberland Sound when it entered Tokyo Bay on August 28, 1945, several days prior to the formal surrender signing by Emperor Hirohito.
In 1946, my father re-enlisted entering the Army, specifically the Army Air Force (USAAF). Then in 1947, USAAF became known as the Air Force (USAF), where he spent the remainder of his military service.
Post WWII, his career focused on secured cryptographic communications, along with long range large format photography. He had numerous assignments and duty stations, including the harsh cold weather environments of Alaska and Greenland, in addition to extremes of heat and humidity inCentral America and the Caribbean.
Prior to his retirement in 1967, my father was the senior NCO at Offutt AFB, SAC Headquarters, responsible for communications working in the lowest level underground. More specifically, his primary role was employing cryptography to ensure secured communications, along with daily operation of \"Looking Glass\" -- the airborne backup Strategic Air Command communications headquarters.In additional/future items, my father\'s other military personal effects will be available, such as uniforms, service items and photographs.
