Willie Sharp– USS Hornet docent & featured in our new documentary!

Lt. William Sharp:  Sharp flew the F-8 Crusader in Vietnam. During the Vietnam War Air Group 19 was stationed onboard aircraft carriers USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) and USS Ticonderoga (CVA-14). On November 18, 1965, he was shot down on a mission over North Vietnam. He had just turned 26 years old when his aircraft was hit by enemy fire forcing Sharp to eject from his aircraft into the Tonkin Gulf. Sharp was then captured by two North Vietnamese fishermen aboard a sampan. He successfully escaped while other US aircraft protected him during his rescue. He will recount this heroic tale during his presentation.
