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.

While On the Subject of Wendell Baie


His death notices all had him listed as an aviation cadet who was soon to get his wings when he was killed in the crash.  Did the Army Air Force promote him to second lieutenant after his death?

In several instances, and where I first saw his name, he was listed as a lieutenant.

Plus, the find-a-grave sites for his mother and father just listed him as their only child.  What became of his brother William.  I couldn't find any information on him.
