I believe the pilot was George Duncan, USNA '39. George went on to
command
RANGER during the early 1960s.

I still remember many of the "Sea stories" my Dad told me about his cruises
aboard the Ranger in the early to mid 60's - I remember him talking about
Capt Duncan.......... He said all the men thought he was on hell of a good
skipper - He took the Ranger out of SF Bay at about 25 knots once..... made
a hell of a bow wave and caused an uproar with the politicians of the bay
area. He also had an F-4 launched while the Ranger was just under the
golden gate bridge - A picture of it is in my Dad's cruisebook. One of
these days - I'll scan them in and post them to ABPA or ABPM.....

My Dad was a QM aboard the Ranger and Forrestal during the 60's, He was on
the Kittyhawk during the 70's.
