Lt (JG) Alexander 'Alex' Vraicu pictured with his mounts during (upper, 'White 19'), and after (lower '32') the 'Great Marianas Turkey Shoot' in 1944. Vraicu was Butch O'Hare's wingman early on and served on CVL-22 USS Independence, CV-9 USS Essex, CV-11 USS Intrepid, and CV-16 USS Lexington. His 'Turkey Shoot' day came while flying from CV-16, downing 6 in 8 minutes. He finished the war as the 4th ranked Navy ace with aerial 19 kills.
