Robinson- Flying from a carrier

Comments: I am seeking anyone with information or knowledge of Calvin Lester Robinson ? He sometimes went by the name of Tex or Robbie. This was my father, and I know very little about him. I had been told: He was a pilot who flew off of Air Craft Carriers, during the Korean war. Would that mean he was in the Air Force or the Navy? Could it have been either? He was a Texan. He played many musical instruments, especially Guitar, Fiddle, piano, and accordion. He loved to entertain people. (He was a good Yodeler- in that Texas style) He was tall (6 2 to 6 4) and had a good sense of humor, practical joker, And of course he loved to chase the women. I know he did not die in Korea- I would not be here. I was born in 59. He did maintain a Pilots License after he returned home, he used to take us up in a Cessna on occasion. I dont have much more info, than that. I dont know if he is alive or dead! The lack of knowledge has pretty much possessed me over the years since he disappeared. Thank you, for anything you can tell me, no matter how big or slight. I cant describe this feeling of knowing nothing of my Dad. Lester Dean Robinson

Looking for members of USS Antietam (CV-36)

Comments: Hi, I am looking for shipmates of my dad. He was on this ship USS Antietam (CV-36) just shortly after WWII I believe. He was born in 1927 and was actually drafted into the Army, but ran as fast as he could to the Navy Enlistment office. So, he was probably only 17 or so when he was drafted? I never did get the actual dates and he is not in good health, so I was trying to find information on his unit and if there are any shipmates. I know he went to the South Pacific where there was a Typhoon they all had to endure - he went to Japan and brought back a beautiful silk painting of Tigers. I believe he was in Hawaii at some point - Australia was his favorite.

Anyone remember serving with Eugene (Skip) Minger?

Comments: My Father, Eugene J. (Skip) Minger served as a Gunnery Officer aboard the Antietam until the 1950's when he was selected for flight training. I'd like to hear from anyone who served with him. As a veteran I can appreciate a good "Sea Story". Dad is in poor health now and is unable to say much. I'd like to put together an oral history to tell the Great Grandkids.

When I was a youngster He spoke of an F4U Squadron Called "The Bent Wing Exterminators". Can anyone provide any information on this unit?

Thanks, Gene Minger.
