Abstract
Harry Hemphill was in a managerial position with a major airline:
“I was seventeen years old when I went into the Marine Corps. There I learned discipline and authority. But I really wanted to make the U.S. Naval Academy. I couldn’t do it because in those days it was a lot different. It was all political; my parents were Republican and the Democrats controlled Kentucky, so I didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell. I stayed in the Marine Corps until 1943 when I applied for flight training and ended up a naval aviation officer in the Navy rather than the Corps.
