STORIES OF MARINE CORPS AVIATION
ORDNANCE DEVELOPMENT 1950-1980.
There are heretofore untold stories of bold and ingenious Marine aviators who developed weapons, bomb racks, delivery methods and ordnance procedures for successfully handling and utilizing the air to ground and air to air munitions safely and effectively. Some of these dedicated and remarkably talented Marines have asked me to give historical significance to ordnance development achievements during the important era after World War Two. Flying exploits and unusual experiences are included in these web pages devoted to the major contributors to Marine Fighter and Attack Aviation for over 30 years.
