In 1943, Paul Newman enlisted in the Navy, joining the V-12 program to become a pilot. But when he was discovered to be colorblind, he was sent to basic training where he became a rear-seat radioman and gunner for torpedo bombers.
In May 1945, his unit was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill. But the pilot developed an earache and another crew was sent in their place.
A few days later kamikaze planes attacked Bunker Hill, killing almost 400 onboard. "When you miss something like that because your pilot happened to have an earache..wow!" Paul recalled. "You can't say God is looking after you because He gave your pilot an earache but put the 15 other guys in coffins!"
