My dad, Douglas McLaughlin, served on the Cabot during WWII as a fighter pilot. He wrote a book called Rambling Memories of a WWII Fighter Pilot and I'm attempting to make a documentary with VanderKloot Film & Television, Inc.
If you have any info re the CAbot during WWII, we would love to hear from you.
I loved reading the heartfelt messages here and hope I hear from someone.
Thanks so much,
Julie Ringwood

My father Lt. Comm. Alvin Hillner was a aviator on the USS Belleau Wood on many dates and times he was on the ship July 10 to August 15, 1945, Japan: AG-31 (2) (VF-31, VT-31). He received a citation for extraordinary heroism in action against enemy Japanese forces in the air, ashore and afloat in the Pacific War from September 18, 1943 to August 15, 1945. This citation was signed by the Secretary of Navy.

I would love to hear any stories about my father,"J.P." Lever,he was an Machinst mate First class,a airplane mechanic that fixed the aircraft as they came back from missions,I was very young when he tried to tell me about being aboard the U.S.S. CABOT,but I do remember it meant the world to him being apart of her crew,he died in 1989,i am broken hearted that I never brought up his time during the war again while I was old enough to appreciate what he tried to tell me when I was so young.Any stories would be appreciated.

I am looking for anybody who served with my uncle Thomas Watson Bell. He was on the USS Belleau Wood from April to October of 1944. He was strapping in pilots on top deck, when a kamakazi plane came and killed him and several others. I would like to know more about the day he died, and if anyone knew him and could share some stories. My father is dying and I am trying my best to get all the information for him before he dies. Thomas was his big brother that he looked up to. Please help if you can. Thank you so much.
