Lester Dean Robinson wrote on 2007-11-22 17:45:21.0
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

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.

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.

The second Antietam (CV-36) was laid down on 15 March 1943 by
the Philadelphia Navy Yard; launched on 20 August 1944 sponsored
by Mrs. Millard E. Tydings, the wife of Senator Tydings of
Maryland; and commissioned on 28 January 1945, Capt. James R.
Tague in command.
The aircraft carrier remained in the Far East for a little more
than three years. The Yellow Sea constituted her primary theater
of operations while her air group provided support for the
Allied occupation of North China, Manchuria, and Korea. During
the latter stages of that assignment, her airmen conducted
surveillance missions in that area as a result of the civil war
in China between communist and nationalist factions which later
resulted in the expulsion of Chiang Kai-shek's forces from
mainland China and the establishment of Mao Tse- tung's
communist People Republic of China. Throughout the period,
however, she did depart the Yellow Sea on occasion for visits to
Japan, the Philippines, Okinawa, and the Marianas. Early in 1949,
she concluded her mission in the Orient and headed back to the
United States for deactivation.
Antietam remained in reserve at Alameda, Calif., until communist
forces from the north invaded South Korea in the summer of
1950. She began reactivation preparations on 6 December and went
back into commission on 17 January 1951, Capt. George J. Dufek
in command. Initially, the carrier conducted shakedown training
and carrier qualifications along the California coast, first out
of Alameda and-after 14 May-out of San Diego. She made one voyage to
Pearl Harbor and back to San Diego in July and August
before departing the latter port on 8 September and heading for
the Far East. Antietam arrived in the Far East later that fall
and, by late November, began the only combat deployment of her
career. During that tour, she made four cruises with Task Force
(TF) 77, in the combat zone off the coast of Korea. In between
fighting assignments, she returned to Yokosuka, Japan. During
each of those periods, her air group carried out a variety of
missions in support of United Nations forces combating North
Korean aggression. Those missions included combat air patrol
logistics interdiction-particularly against railroad and highway
traffic-reconnaissance antisubmarine patrols, and night heckler
missions. Between late November 1951 and mid-March 1952, Antietam's air
group flew nearly 6,000 sorties of all types. She
returned to Yokosuka on 21 March 1952 at the conclusion of her
fourth cruise with TF 77 to begin preparations for her voyage
back to the United States.
The aircraft carrier returned home in April and rejoined the
Pacific Reserve Fleet briefly. She was reactivated later that
summer and, in August, transited the Panama Canal to join the
Atlantic Fleet. In September, the warship entered the New York
Naval Shipyard for major alterations. In October, she was
redesignated an attack aircraft carrier, CVA-36. In December
Antietam emerged from the yard as America's first angled-deck
aircraft carrier. She operated out of Quonset Point, R.I., until
the beginning of 1955.
