Clarence M. "Bob" Logsdon(shorter man in foreground) and Allen Q. Nations (directly behind Logsdon) watch as a B-25 leaves the deck of Hornet on 18 April, 1942.  Mr. Nations perished at the battle of Santa Cruz Islands when a Japanese "Val" dive bomber crashed into the Hornet's signal bridge.  Logsdon survived and in 2001 related "the death of the Hornet" in Robert Ballard's (who found the Titanic) book, "Graveyards of the Pacific."</div>
