Below, in uniform aboard the U.S. S. Randolf.
At nineteen, one year after he had had enough of plowing corn on dad's farm, Wayne was in
the North Atlantic. He was the last mechanic to tap the pilot on the shoulder and ok the take-
off. The canapy closed and Wayne watched the jet shoot off the deck. Then he waited for it to return.
