Uncle Sam's Marines are

Col. Marion Carl, USMC, as
the town of Hubbard where
he lived before going to the
Marines.
Leatherneck Magazine for
December carries a four page
article on the Oregon flyer,
with pictures.
Entitled "High Man," the
article is written by Master
Sgt. Paul Saroktn, staff writ
er for the magazine and be
gins;
The townsfolk of a 350-
person Oregon village remem
ber a lanky, quiet kid, who
spent his play time tinkering
with tractor and truck motors.
and scrimped all week to buy
an airplane ride on Saturday
afternoon instead of a movie
ticket for a western. Today
that kid is 38 and he's still
in love with flying machines."
Sarokin then noted that
Carl had flown higher and
faster than any other military!
pilot, and continued:
In the past 16 years Col.
Carl has logged more than
7.000 flying hours. He holds
the altitude record of 83,235
(almost 16 miles) and has
made the fastest flight in mili
tary history 1143 miles per
hour. He was the first marine
to fly a helicopter, turbo driv
en prop, tailless Delta wing
(F4D) and he was the first to
take off and land the Air
Force's Shooting Star on a
carrier. His guns shot down
18 Zeros at Midway and the
'Canal and earned him two
Navy Crosses and a recom
mendation for the Congres
sional Medal of Honor. At
one time he had more jet fly'
ing experience than any pilot
in the Naval service
The artillery briefly told of
of his World War II
experience, noting that he was
hit by Zeros over Guadalcanal
and bailed out at 22.000 feet.
spending four hours in the
water before being "fished
out" by friendly natives and
hauled into the jungle. On
that occasion Carl managed to
get back to his outfit by over
hauling a motor launch the
British troops had abandoned
during the Japanese invasion.
At the end of World War II,
Carl ranked number seven
among the Marine aces.
"In August, 1947. when he
set a 650.6 m.p h. speed mark
in a Douglas Skystreak, Carl
became the first Marine to
hold an official world speed
record."
(This fall he broke his own
official record, flying 753.4
m.p.h., only to have lt broken
a short time later by Lt. Col.
fuel supply ran out. The
world's speed record of 1238
m.p.h. was set In August, 1951,
by a civilian. Bill Bridgeman,
a Douglas test pilot
"Fellow pilots go all out
when describing Col. Carl,1
Sarokin says. One gave him
the full treatment when he
said: 'For my money, Carl Is
not only the hottest pilot In
the Marine Corps but prob
ably the best pilot in the
world today. He's not the
darn-fool type of flier who'll
take unnecessary chances just
for kicks. Instead, he's cool,
calculating and deliberate.'"
The story is told of Carl's
coming Into a squadron and
finding two pilots arguing
over whether a jet could loop
and land in one sweeping cir
cular motion. Carl, asked
about it, took a slide rule from
his pocket and made a few
calculations and remarked,
"Stare, it can be done."
To prove it, the article said
Carl took off across the field
climbed Into his jet and made
a perfect loop and landed.
Then the writer concludes:
"Startled ground observers
who were probably witnessing
another Carl 'first' couldn't
believe It was the usual re
served Col. Carl, who never
takes reckless chances. What
they didn't know, however,
was that he had first proved
to himself, mathematically,
that the maneuver would be
successful.
"Scientists envision a future
of Interplanetary travel with
week-end tourist trips to the
moon. But as of today the
mortal, who has been closer
to the moon than any other
contemporary human being Is
a tall, quiet-spoken United
States Marine from Hubbard,
Oregon."
