I am re-reading all of the Walter Lord books again. He has a gripping way of almost make me feel as if I am there with the participants when Midway was attacked, Pearl was hit, The Titanic struck the iceberg, etc, etc.

Thanks again. I got the Kindle version. I almost spent the $142 for the hardcover so he would have it, but I will haunt old book sites to look for one first.

Tell him, Walter Lord's book, Incredible Victory, is an outstanding read on Midway. Lots of mention of Torpedo Squadron 3 off of Yorktown and some numbers of individuals named... read a free sample at Amazon Kindle

it has been my understanding that the small "c" stands for class as in Aviation Radioman First "C"lass.
Don't know if this is correct, but that's how I have seen this used.

My Grandson is interested in family history. He has asked me a question about my wife's Uncle that died in the battle of Midway He was on Yorktown CV5, Torpedo Squadron 3 ARM1c. I know he was a first class aviation radiomen, but what does the small "C" stand for?
