When the Lonesome Lady was shot down during a bombing run in the Inland Sea of Japan, Pilot T. C. Cartwright and his crew became POWs. The men were interned at Hiroshima, and while the author was sent to Tokyo for interrogation, his entire crew was killed by the U. S. atomic bomb. The military failed to properly report the death of his crew. This story was reported in the New York Times and in several newspaper articles, but for the first time the author tells the story in his own words.

Cartwright, T. C.: - In addition to his service in World War II, Thomas C. Cartwright was a graduate of Clemson University (B.S. 1948) and of Texas A&M University (M.S. 1949; Ph.D. 1954). After receiving his doctorate, he joined the faculty of Texas A&M University and the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. There, he distinguished himself in the field of population genetics, applying his experience particularly to the improvement of beef cattle breeding. He introduced the techniques of systems analysis to animal breeding and livestock production; he was recognized as an authority in the evaluation of hybrid vigor and breed characteristics in crossing cattle. Dr. Cartwright participated in many international programs for the improvement of animal agriculture and in the education of a generation of agricultural scientists for developing countries. In addition to having distinguished himself in research, Dr. Cartwright has been teacher and mentor for numerous graduate students and was an active and conscientious citizen of the university as Professor Emeritus.
