USS LEXINGTON Former Crew Member

Name: Stainer, Charles E.

Service Dates: February 1944 to November 1944

Rank/Duty Assigned: RASARMAN CIC

Comment: I think I was the only ex Lex crew member who was interviewed for the History Channel Heavy Metal Series Film on “The Aircraft Carrier”. It was really about Essex class carriers, and a few parts were filmed on both the Lex and the Yorktown as a demostration as to how things work on the bridge. The film now plays daily in hangar bay 3 of the USS LEXINGTON Museum.
