From http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/gb41.html

"On his 18th birthday he enlisted in the armed forces. The youngest
pilot in the Navy when he received his wings, he flew 58 combat missions
during World War II. On one mission over the Pacific as a torpedo bomber
pilot he was shot down by Japanese antiaircraft fire and was rescued from
the water by a U. S. submarine.  He was awarded the Distinguished Flying
Cross for bravery in action."
