    Robert Barrigan Jan 25, 1923 - Sep 2, 2012 BIRTHPLACE: Los Angeles, CA SOLDIER DETAILS HIGHEST RANK: AT1 DIVISION: Navy, USS Tangier AV8 Robert THEATER OF OPERATION: Pacific Barrigan SERVED: Dec 24, 1940 - May 1, 1960 Navy HONORED BY: Wife, Irma L. Barrigan and Daughter Sherry May BIOGRAPHY I was born in LA, raised in El Centro, CA and delivered papers until 1939. Dad guessed we were about to enter the war during my junior year and suggested I join the Navy then, rather than being drafted. Enlisting on a Kiddy Cruise (I was just 17), I was sent to the San Diego Naval Training Station where I was assigned to the USS Tangier. We sailed our maiden cruise to Honolulu. The Tangier was to go on maneuvers with the fleet on Dec 7th or 8th so the ship's two seaplanes were sent to Ford Island to await its return, and I and several shipmates were selected to baby sit them. On Dec. 7th I was awakened by a large explosion which shook the bunkroom on the second floor that faced Diamond Head. I jumped up, feeling a second explosion as I ran to the window. I then felt several smaller explosions and saw an aircraft with large red balls on the wings crossing low in the hangar area from south to north, banking around and climbing. We put on our white pants, shoes and hats and ran downstairs. As I came down the stairway, men were breaking out all the glass in the doors and windows. A boatswain's mate shouted for me and several others to keep low and follow him.

  • INDIANA MAGAZINE of HISTORY Volume LI JUNE,1955 Number 2
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume LI JUNE,1955 Number 2 Hoosier Senior Naval Officers in World War I1 John B. Heffermn* Indiana furnished an exceptional number of senior of- ficers to the United States Navy in World War 11, and her sons were in the very forefront of the nation’s battles, as casualty lists and other records testify. The official sum- mary of casualties of World War I1 for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, covering officers and men, shows for Indiana 1,467 killed or died of wounds resulting from combat, 32 others died in prison camps, 2,050 wounded, and 94 released prisoners of war. There were in the Navy from Indiana 9,412 officers (of this number, probably about 6 per- cent or 555 were officers of the Regular Navy, about 10 per- cent or 894 were temporary officers promoted from enlisted grades of the Regular Navy, and about 85 percent or 7,963 were Reserve officers) and 93,219 enlisted men, or a total of 102,631. In the Marine Corps a total of 15,360 officers and men were from Indiana, while the Coast Guard had 229 offic- ers and 3,556 enlisted men, for a total of 3,785 Hoosiers. Thus, the overall Indiana total for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard was 121,776. By way of comparison, there were about 258,870 Hoosiers in the Army.l There is nothing remarkable about the totals and Indiana’s representation in the Navy was not exceptional in quantity; but it was extraordinary in quality.

  • Analysis of the Effects of Air Transport Liberalisation on the Domestic Market in Japan
    Chikage Miyoshi Analysis Of The Effects Of Air Transport Liberalisation On The Domestic Market In Japan COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis Academic year 2006-2007 Chikage Miyoshi Analysis of the effects of air transport liberalisation on the domestic market in Japan Supervisor: Dr. G. Williams May 2007 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Cranfield University 2007. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner Abstract This study aims to demonstrate the different experiences in the Japanese domestic air transport market compared to those of the intra-EU market as a result of liberalisation along with the Slot allocations from 1997 to 2005 at Haneda (Tokyo international) airport and to identify the constraints for air transport liberalisation in Japan. The main contribution of this study is the identification of the structure of deregulated air transport market during the process of liberalisation using qualitative and quantitative techniques and the provision of an analytical approach to explain the constraints for liberalisation. Moreover, this research is considered original because the results of air transport liberalisation in Japan are verified and confirmed by Structural Equation Modelling, demonstrating the importance of each factor which affects the market. The Tokyo domestic routes were investigated as a major market in Japan in order to analyse the effects of liberalisation of air transport. The Tokyo routes market has seven prominent characteristics as follows: (1) high volume of demand, (2) influence of slots, (3) different features of each market category, (4) relatively low load factors, (5) significant market seasonality, (6) competition with high speed rail, and (7) high fares in the market.

Suddenly, at 0740 hrs, an A6M5 Reisen dived out of the clouds directly into the escort carrier USS Santee (CVE-29), crashing through its flightdeck on the port side forward of the elevator.
