FLYING ALUMNUS-Maj. James Bridges
(Pinhead) Henson, AAF, '40Ed, is shown
above climbing out of a jeep preparatory'
to getting into his plane to go on a mis
sion somewhere in the South Pacific.
'Pinhead,' as you know him, is the tops
Isere,' Writes Capt. Joseph J. Stevens, his
executive officer. "I am sure that he is
typical of the type of people the Univer
sity of South Caroline puts out." Henson,
reputed to be commander of the best
squadron in his command, was co-captain
of the football team when he was a stu
dent in the University. A four-letter man,
he also participated in baseball, basket
ball and track.
SEES THE HELL OF WAR-Ensign Ed
ward Mclver (Eddie) Leppard, USNR,
'44A, now in the European theatre, went
in on D-doy, had his ship knocked out
of commission, spent about a week in
foxholes on the beach, during which
time he and his crew helped to mann an
anti-aircraft gun. During the invasion,
when his ship, an amphibious vessel, op
erated day and night for a month or
more without relief and without dropping
anchor, Ensign Leppard and one other en
sign had joint command of the ship.
"Send me The Gamecock," writes En
sign Leppord. "When we get mail we
feel like we can go out and lick the whole
German Army. When we don't get eny
mail we feel like whipped dogs. Keep 'emj
coming."
