| Ben Pugh Cincinnati, OH | My father, Lt. Cmdr. Benjamin Thomas Pugh, was flying the AD-2 Model when he was killed on a bombing mission in North Korea, December 18, 1951. He was a flight commander for VF-194 Squadron Yellow Devils aboard CV-45 the USS Valley Forge.
Any information about him from shipmates, wingmen, or friends would be greatly appreciated. I was only 2 when he was killed. 07/12/2008 @ 10:18 [ref: 21863] |
