80 Percent Luck, 20 Percent Skill
By Ralph Alshouse
When war breaks out, Ralph T. Alshouse does the unthinkable—he leaves the family farm to enlist in the Navy. As one of a handful of high school graduates, he was accepted as an Aviation Cadet and eventually won U. S. Navy Wings of Gold. He flew over 28 types of Naval Aircraft; from the smallest, a Piper Cub ambulance, to the biggest, a B-24; to the fastest, a Corsair. This is his remarkable story of luck and skill as a Naval Aviator.
