you. I'm Just going TO make you
work
And then we're going to hit the
Japs wherever We can. We're going
to do what the situation requires us
to do. If it's hand-dovn sitlla-
ton, we're going to put our hands
down. But the situations are all 60
ing to be good for us because they're
made to order for our job, which is
vengeance, which is TO blow into the
heads Of those Japs who pulled the
trigger on us at Midway the realiza-
ton that in the long run they did
the sorriest, stupidest, worst Job for
their country that they could have
done. Their country would have
been better off it they hadn't been
born. That's our job. to teach them
that and teach their country that.
Want Vengeance.
We've got good plane for the
job. I know there has been some
excitement around here about the
plane. You can see for yourself Just
by looking around and listening, that
the less experienced man is with
the plane the more prone he is To
get excited about the way it works
and the more experienced a man Is
the better he thinks the plane Is.
That's what I see and you can find
out very easily whether I'm wrong.
When the men on the ground work
ing on it are good and the men who
take it up into the air are good.
then it's a very good airplane. 1t
has good name - the Avenger.
We've got good job-revenge.
That's what I want, vengeance,
and I think you want it, too, and
think that if you stop to figure it
out you'll be glad. too, as I am that
the Navy is putting us where We
can go to work and get it. We've
got score to settle and a chance to
settle it. Who can ask for more?'
Those are not the exact words
Swede used. SWede doesn't remem-
ber his exact words and nobody
thought to mark them down. All
SWede remembers is that he told the
fellows what he felt and this was
the gist of it, Whatever the words
were. they seemed to have been the
right ones. If Swede had told the
fellows what they didn't believe or
couldn't believe or didn't want to
believe, then nothing would have
happened. But something did hap
pen. They all. from that day on,
committed themselves to vengeance.
They stepped with their minds out
of their old familiar world and into
a world in which their dead could
live with them fiercely.
Revenge was their job When they
got to Guadalcanal, they worked at
it relentlessly.

the oldtime cracker-b barrel way of
doing things. 1t implied the faith

It. Larsen's detail of Nary
Torpedo Squadron flies ne1D
planes from, Norfolk, Va, to
Honolulu, then to Mid1Uay Island.
Japs suddenly appear and squad
ron heroically goes after them,
flying through narro1D tunnel

aircraft fire. Only one plane re-
turns, but Japs flee.
CHAPTER 6.
At the beginning. there was nc
time for anybody to do anything
about it. The Jap was running away
and had to be pursued and the rem
nants of Torpedo 8 were gathered ur
all of them, the scared ones and
the desperate ones and the fellows
who just shrugged it off and thought
Hell, dying is something that hap
pens to everybody once"-and
thrown into the pursuit.
Torpedo had no luck with their
end of the chase. They were where
the Jap refrained from going. And
in this unhappy time of straining fol
action and of getting no action, the
thoughts kept cooking in them ano
they had, to keep them going or
through their thoughts. only a sense
OF obligation toward the war-a feel
ing for their duty" as it is called
to their country.
That, it turned out, was enough fol

and taking into account her need to
do her duty to her country. she de-
cided against doing anything that
would harass her husband and i'm
pede victory in the war. She had
written the letter out of the terror
in her and, out of a sense of obliga-
ton to the war. she controlled her
terror and tore up the letter before
mailing it. There were more letters
OF a similar nature written or
planned by Torpedo 8's women.

Override Discomfort.
The men on the battle line came
to the same decision in their own
way. There was nobody to coax them
into it. In fact, it developed with the
best intentions in the world that the
pull was all the other way. Their
friends in the fleet kept coming up
to them and saying, Gosh, I'm glad
to see you. thought you were dead -
The temptation was unavoidable to
reply, mo. not yet" The replace
ments weren't very happy either
about being picked to fill the holes
made by the Japs in Torpedo 8 and
there was talk all around, in the
fleet. in the newspapers, among the
civilian experts. among even the men
themselves. about the plane not
being good enough and about this
being needed and that being needed
and so forth and SO on, real ground
swell of discomfort.
The men of Torpedo rode the
ground swell and kept on going
through it. They were not unreal
people facing an unreal situation.
The situation was very real and they
were human. That is one of the mag
nificent things about what happened
later, that they were all quite hu-
man people. exactly the kind the
rest of us are, and did what they did
despite that. So, in the meantime,
they bucked a little in the ground
swell but kept on going through it.
However, Swede was dissatisfied
with the situation. He had been
moved up to the late 1t. Comdr
Waldron's place as commanding Of
ficer of the squadron. He did not
want his men to have to whip them
selves to their work by their sense
of duty. He knew duty would make
the men fight, but he did not believe
it could make them fight efficiently
For man to best an enemy as re-
sourceful, heedlessly tenacious and
implacable as the Jap had proved
himself to be, he must have his wits
about him. Desperation was not
