Battle Courage and the Making of a Soldier
In a wartime profile, a timid 18 year old dubbed Babe saves a carrier crew during a lightning dive bombing attack showing how courage forms under fire. The piece contrasts Babe with Johnny Allen whose fatigue after repeated missions nearly breaks him before recovery and return to duty. Modern naval air training and jungle survival tactics reduce fear of being shot down.
