When I came on board just like now. 19 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,760 They were going to be my children. They hadn't met me, but... 20 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,560 ...I was assigned the command of their squadron. 21 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,760 I have to admit I was a little scared about what they had sent me. 22 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,280 In those days education was feverish, 23 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,920 ...the nerves are tense and the battles were getting harder and harder. 24 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,160 First on board was Joe Rogers, a lieutenant commander in the fleet... 25 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,040 ...who chose to become a flyer instead of a firing officer on a cruiser. 26 00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:22,680 He was a graduate of the Cadet School and had and had seen the Navy more than most... 27 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,560 ...and he was a kind of hero for the Captain's Office. 28 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,240 I think some of those those young men imagined... 29 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,560 ...that he would be their squadron leader, when they reached the sea. 30 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,480 I thought Joe was a good guy. and he probably knew his job. 31 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,760 The Squadron brought its own unit for entertainment. 32 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,240 And the unit was one man. Ed Kelly. 33 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,120 As a citizen, he was a member of the "Spring Trio". 34 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,640 There was also "Snake" Gibbs McKay. 35 00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:49,040 When he joined the Navy, the football team Notre Dame lost its famous defensive lineman. 36 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,360 The "Judge" was another one of my new kids. 37 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,320 He was a law student, serious and intelligent. 38 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,280 Two items that shouldn't be that no pilot should be without. 39 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,520 Longfellow, the poet turned pilot. 40 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,640 Another bad combination. 41 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,600 They signal him to leave. What's wrong with him? 42 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,960 - Who's this dude? - Ensign Barney Smith, sir. 43 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,480 The kids call him Barney Oldfield. He drove a race car back home. 44 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,680 He disregarded the signal. He could have disintegrated every plane on the deck. 45 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,160 Yes, sir. I think he's a little impatient. 46 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:43,320 His brother was killed in the Philippines. 47 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,920 - It can't wait, can it? - Something like that, sir. 48 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,400 I suppose you know, Mr. Rogers, that you're the new Axe of Business. 49 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,360 - Yes, sir. - Very well. 50 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Your first official order is to say that Ensign Smith is grounded. 51 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,080 What do you think of that? 52 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,880 I've been on board two minutes and I'm already grounded. 53 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,160 You think it'll be permanent? 54 00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:16,920 Of course not, Barney.
