 | | Lieutenant Robert Pershing Williams, U.S.N.R., 26-year-old Naval pilot of Snoqualmie, Washington, during a period of six weeks, destroyed two U-boats, bombed another into such helplessness that it was readily sent to the bottom by another plane and possibly damaged a fourth underseas raider. |
 | | Lieutenant Williams, pilot of a Grumman AVENGER bomber, is attached to one of the Navy’s new escort aircraft carriers assigned to anti-submarine patrol and escort duty in the Atlantic. |
 | | On Lieutenant (junior grade) Steiger’s third strafing run, just before relief was to arrive, his wildcat suddenly swerved to the left; its nose dropped, and the plane plunged into the water only 100 feet from the U-boat. |
