Michael Lynett
He served in the Army Air Forces, flying P-40 and P-38 fighter aircraft. He was promoted to First Lieutenant and stationed at Adak in the Aleutian Islands to defend against a potential Japanese attack. During a routine patrol, his P-38 aircraft caught fire and he was forced to bail out, thus gaining entry into the Caterpillar Club.
