ups in US Naval Aviation history.But what really happened on that tragic evening when the FID was on Sea Trials
off the coast of St. Augustine,Florida? History and eye witness accounts reveal that unbeknownst to the Ships
Company and Carrier Air Wing Seventeen personnelthat they would become participants of the second worst
documented aviation mishap on the flight deck of the USS Forrestal CV-59. Our story is literally unknown. Its a
contrast in the directions of the authors of this book, two U. S. Navy veterans,John Pugioti and Wesley E. Etheridge
Sr., who at the very young ages of eighteen and nineteen both where on the flight deck that evening working as a
team of two, as Fly-3 Blue Shirts. Ultimately, the mishap that occurred that evening, would exponentially dictate the
