patches Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted November 16, 2020 Are you sure it was about Winters? He was in WWII not Korea, his main service was as a member of the Ships Detachment on the Carrier Bonhomme Richard, Bonhomme Richard was a new carrier, commissioned November 26 1944, Winters maybe was a "Plank Owner". Bonhomme Richard sees action in the last phase of the Battle of Okinawa, and later still it's squadrons launch missions against japan proper just before the bombs drop, no where do we see he was recalled for service because of the war in Korea.
