- From Ralph Main, exactly as he wrote it: (BEGIN QUOTE) Harold finished high school and worked at the B & W Tube Mill until he was drafted into the Navy. He went to Camdon, New Jersey after boot camp where they were building the USS Bataan and was on it before it was finished. The Captain was Ward C. Gilbert, USN. It was a light aircraft carrier of the Independence class carrying a complement of 25 fighters and 3 torpedo planes. Originally laid down as a light cruiser, but converted at an early stage in her construction. It was built by The New York Shipbuilding Company and commissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on November 17, 1943. After a shakedown cruise in the Caribbean waters, the ship proceeded to the Pacific War via the Panama Canal.
She lost no time getting into action. On April 21, 1944, planes from the Bataan flew their first missions against the Japs in support of the landings by General McArthur's troops at Hollandia, New Guinea. In quick succession followed strikes on Truk, Ponape, the Marianas, and the Bonin Islands, climaxed by participation in the Battle of Eastern Philippines.
Towards the close of the Marianas campaign, the Bataan returned to San Francisco for operational repairs and then in October 1944 was assigned duty in the Hawaiian Islands as a training ship for day and night air groups. This interlude was terminated early in March of this year when the ship steamed west to take part in the campaign for Okinawa. During the next 3 months, the Bataan, as a unit of Task Force 58, participated in the attacks on Kyushu and Honshu which preceded the invasion of Okinawa, flew strikes and sweeps against that island and many others in the Nansei Shoto chain, and furnished air support to our ground forces on Okinawa. On April 7, in the Battle of the East China Sea, the ship's Avenger torpedo planes contributed 4 "fish" towards the sinking of the 45,000 ton battleship Yamato, other crippling bomb hits were obtained on a cruiser and 2 destroyers by Bataan Hellcat fighters.
The end of the Okinawa operation found the Bataan enjoying a much needed month's rest at Leyte in the Philippines. From there, on the first of July, she sailed with Admiral Halsey's third Fleet to engage in the series of attacks on the Japanese Home Islands which constituted the final operation of the war. Her target included enemy aircraft, shipping and land targets at Tokyo Bay, Northern Honshu, Hokkaido and Yokosuka and Kure Naval Bases, When news of the Japanese surrender was received aboard on August 15 [Tokyo Time], the ship was cruising in enemy waters of Tokyo Bay ---a fitting place to end the war--- having just launched planes for an attack on Tokyo. The planes were recalled within sight of the Japanese coast, and landed on the flight deck to see the majic "V-J" chalked on the side of the island.
During the Okinawa operation the ship was in formation next to four large carriers-- Franklin, Hancock, Bunker Hill and the Enterprise--when they were hit by enemy bombs or suicide planes. The Bataan, however, though under attack many times lived up to its reputation as a lucky ship by never being hit by the enemy. The closest shave came on April 17 when a Japanese dive bomber singled the ship out as its target for a suicide run. Hit by a stream of anti- aircraft fire from the ship's guns, the Kamikaze crashed just off the carrier's stern, scattering salt water and pieces of airplane over the flight deck. The fragments furnished good souvenirs for the crew.
After the surrender, the Bataan took part in operations in connection with the occupation of Japan and furnished personnel for landing parties. She dropped anchor in Tokyo Bay on September 6, and on the same day started the long journey home to the East coast by way of Pearl Harbor and the Panama Canal.
The flags and symbols painted on the port side of the bridge represented the Bataans combat record which includes a total of 129 enemy planes shot down in aerial combat, 9 planes shot down by the ship's anti-aircraft batteries plus assists on many others, and 112 planes destroyed or damaged on the ground or water. Attacks by Bataan planes and aircraft from other carriers assigned to the same targets resulted in the sinking or damaging of some 207,500 tons of merchant shipping, including the Battleship Yamato and Hyuga, sunk, the battleship Nagato, damaged, and the heavy cruiser Tone and a light cruiser put out of action or sunk; 3 enemy carriers were damaged. Approxamately 41,500 tons of merchant shipping were sunk or damaged by Bataan planes. In addition many land targets of oll descriptions were successfully attacked in the 40 strikes or offensive missions flown against the Japanese Home Islands and the 102 strikes against islands outside the enemy Homeland. This is the write up with pictures given to all aboard the ship.
Harold, came home, got married and bought property in North Swickley Township . (END QUOTE).

- The following was written by Ralph Edward Main. It is exactly as Ralph, himself, wrote it: (BEGIN QUOTE) Ralph was born Nov. 7, 1924 during the depression in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, Beaver County. He attended school there and spent most of his time in the shop building furniture since he had no problems with his other studies.
At twelve he was out working and also delivering the morning and evening papers. One morning while delivering the papers in the dark a trailer truck lost it's brakes coming down Steffin Hill and turned over less that ten foot from him. He helped the driver out of the cab. At 14 he worked in Kroll's Bakery 60 hours a week and still attended school. At 16 he went to work driving a mail truck on a star route to out lying post offices and picked up mail at the three railroad stations. That was back when they had real steam engines. He enjoyed going to the stations, meeting the trains with the mail. That was 70 hours a week and still attended school. He did this untill he entered the service. All his money but a dollar a week was used to keep bread on the table.
He also raised and raced homing pigeons. This is what got him drafted into the Army on April 1, 1943. He raced them from 100 to 500 miles under the rules of the American Racing Pigeon Union with 850 members in the Pittsburgh area. In the 500 mile race they had never received a bird the same day so he trained his to fly at night since that was the only time he had for the birds. He got his birds home the same day on a 500 mile race after dark up till 10:00 P.M., The first one 12 hours before anyone else and lost the race because of the rules so the rules were changed world wide. The Army picked this up in all the pigeon magazines and came knocking on his door. They were trying to train night flying birds and couldn't do it. Ralph, told them how but they still couldn't . They wanted his parents to sign so he could go in the service and they wouldn't so they went to the draft board and drafted him when he turned 18. He went when the 22 year olds were drafted.
He took signal basic at Camp Crowder, Mo. He was extra good at map courses. They had a map compass course that was laid out years before that no one was ever able to run so they gave him a try at it. They dropped him off on a road out in the Osarks at the first and last stake and told him they would be there at 6 P.M. and after three days they would be out looking for him. The course was about ten miles long. On the course he came upon a wooden shack with wooden shutters, no glass windows, the walls papered with news paper to keep the wind from coming through with a small wood stove for cooking and heat. The furniture was made from rough lumber.The beds had straw filled mattrases.This was all in one room. The table was set with tin plates and there was something cooking on the stove but no one around. He had a rifle but no ammo but they didn't know that. He pulled out all the money he had in his pocket and left it on the table and left because they were living on the reservation and no one was allowed to live there. He thought by doing that they would know he meant them no harm. They needed the money more than he did. They could have done away with him and dumped him in the Indian Creek and no one would ever have known what happened. He had to cross that Indian Creek and it almost got him because it was too swift and he couldn't swim. He didn't tell anyone about them because they would have been run off. They were there before it was a reservation . All the other people were run off. He ran the course and found all the stakes with the numbers on that you had to record so they knew that you did run the course. They were grown up with brush and trees. He ran the course and was sitting there waiting on them at 6 P.M. They couldn't beleive it.
After basic he was sent to the Pigeon Section where he was given the run of the place. They said that they had been waiting for him for two years. He taught pigeon school to fellows old enough to be his father. He didn't have to stand formations and his day started at 1 P.M. He had a truck to go off the base at night back in the hills of the Osarks to many small towns with the birds. He was photographed and wrote up in the "Click" magazine while at Camp Crowder.
He trained 50 birds in each team and also trained Sgt. Eddie Kowalski on how train them. As soon as he trained a team they would fly them to England for the French Underground because the Germans were shooting down all the day birds carrying map overlays to England. In Crowder they called them the "Secret Weapon" Also they wanted two birds for every glider that went in before daylight in the invasion of France. This way they knew which glider got in and landed at their objectives.
He got home sick and asked to be transferred to Maryland. He had it made and could have stayed there untill the end of the war but after training 30 teams they gave him a transfer since Eddie had learned the system of training them. He arrived at Ft. Mead Maryland and got home the first wek end. The second week end the outfit was on the way to Ft. Jackson, S.C.. That is where his Muscular Dystrophy started but they didn't know what it was and treated him for flat feet. He got hurt in training and went in the hospital for a serious operation and when he got out his outfit had been broken up and everyone was sent to the infantry. He went to the 300th. Inf, for training but wasn't allowed to train because he could hardly get around. He was shipped to Ft. Dix and then to Scottland, England, and then landed on the beach at La Harve , France. He was a rifleman without any training and could hardly make it. They picked him up on the beach and wanted to send him back to England but he refused and asked to go to a signal outfit since he had signal training so he ended up in the 42nd. Rainbow Inf. Div. at the forward message center and went through France, Germany, Austria to Brenner, Italy.That is the outfit that liberated the Dachau Concentration Camp in Munchen, Germany. He was shot at many times but made it home without a scratch. He could write a lot of stories about being straffed many times, about German mines, about capturing S.S.,about the break through in the Hart Mountains, about what he found in German Castles and traveling through beautiful Austria meeting the older people who were against the war.
When the war ended he was stationed in beautiful Saltzburg, Austria. There he went to a Photo Studio and asked to learn the trade. They couldn't speak many words but he learned a lot there.
After discharge he went to work in a studio dark room untill the chemicals gave him a rash.
He met Leona Young from Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, who he later married on October 12, 1946.
He went to work for Ing-Rich Manufacturing Co. and then the Armstrong Cork Co. in Beaver Falls, Pa.
Everything he did was self taught. He made electrician and then electrical supervisor. He was also self taught in electronics and ran a TV repair business for years. He designed and built all the controls for all the old and new operations. He designed and built control systems that the whole engineering department worked on for years with out coming up with anything that worked. He solved a problem that he was told his grandfather , who he never seen, had worked on many years before. Armstrong Engineering Department rated him as one of the top control designers in the country and they had the top engineers from the best schools. He designed systems for other Armstrong plants without ever seeing the operation. He worked on installing a large dielectric heating operation and then ran it untill he became sick and was told to move to Florida, No one else could keep it running so they did away with it. It was like three large microwave ovens that was a continous operation. One unit had more power than the radio station K.D.K.A. and there were three units.
In 1960 they moved to where Seminole, Fla. is today and went to work for Top Value Enterprises as their engineer over seeing all construction and putting in operation large warehouses and offices all over the country. He spent 18 years there before the trading stamp business started down hill and closed up. He built a home in Highlands, N.C. and one in Seminole, Fla. doing almost all the work himself.
While living in Florida he took flying lessons in a Piper Colt at the St. Petersburg / Clearwater Airport. He soloed in five hours of ground school and flight training. He enjoyed flying.
While in Florida he took the two day State Building Contractors test, passed the first time and received a license to build anywhere in the state of Florida. There were very , very , few who ever passed that test the first time and very few who ever passed at all because the passing rate was three percent. The state claimed that the passing of that test was the equivalent of an engineering degree.
In 1980 they moved to Athens, Ga. where he went to work as the chief engineer for the Holiday Inn. He worked there untill he was 70 years old. He was over all construction, maintenance, renovations and purchasing.
His wife, Leona, was better known by everyone as " Mama Lee". She took care of children from when they were three weeks old untill they started to school. In 22 years in Athens, Ga. she helped raise approximately 60 children. Each one was like their own but there were some very, very special ones.
They raised two boys, Ronald and David. David was killed in a auto accident by a drunk driver in North Carolina. Ronald, resides in Spencer, N.C. (END QUOTE).
