As much as I dislike his politics, you got to give him credit, he was ‘safe’ and went back to help another pilot - got hit with shrapnel from cookoffs and Volunteered for flight duty on the Oriskany - and was shot down and a POW within 6 months of the fire- -and remember he was about 30 by then.
Although he had ‘straightened out’ by then I wonder how many Naval Aviators with his early record would have lasted, unless of course their Father and Grandfather were ADMS?
There was a book about the fire that was very descriptive, especially to USN types.. Can’t remember the author or title but it was loosely based on the “Four Horseman of the Apocalypse” and written by a former crewman who had survived the fire.
