Editorial recalls how the Navy scrapped its guided missiles program before World War II after a favorable test, delaying development and denying wartime experience. Captain Jones and others pushed the effort into the Marine air arm and later the Navy again revived it in the Korean War, with little recognition for their roles. The piece urges concrete honors for the three key figures and a renewed Navy commitment.
