The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

"The Mighty Eighth:-- Part 1: Col. Mahurin Shot Down Enemy Planes in Both Theaters of War As Well as the Korean War
From the Paralyzed Veterans of America 2018 Calendar for March "Return to Halesworth."
Picture shows a pilot shaking hands with another airman on the ground as he is getting ready to take his fighter plane up or land it.
Born in Benton Harbor, Michigan, Col. Walker "Bud" Mahurin (Dec. 5, 1918 - May 11, 2010) was the only U.S. Army Air Force pilot who is credited with shooting down enemy planes in both the European and Pacific theaters and later, the Korean conflict.
