Oh heck, and what about Al the Pal and Pete St. Pete, from Spielberg's Always?

Nope. Too many choices, and all of them beloved. Can't choose.

Feeling a little ( but just a little) guilty that I'm not out planting the spring lawn and washing the pickup before it gets too warm, and seeing that my favorite pilots are already taken, members of other crews come to mind:

Horatio Hornblower (the series) and Commander Krause, who was The Good Shepherd, both from the pen of C S Forrester.

Ericson and Lockhart, inseperable on the bridges of both Compass Rose and Saltash, sailing together through the pages of The Cruel Sea, by Nicholas Monserratt.

My dad told me once that if I ever wanted to know what it was like for him in the North Atlantic to read The Good Shepard and The Cruel Sea. I did. Many times.



And I got to read The Good Shepard because of that. Thankyou once again for the book.

You just made me a very happy man, thanks Paul. Just remembered, I still have a little toy of her spaceship in a box somewhere!

Cheers,

Willie

Oh, the Cruel Sea!

I cried when the Compass Rose went down.

The movie was good, too.


Yeah, me too, the first time I read it, and also when Lockhart was in the concert and he lost it for the ship, and when Julie died, and when Lockhart got the nearly comatose from lack of sleep captain into his bunk because I knew (and I've been right so far) I would never be part of a team of two like them, and, finally when I finished the last page because there would be no more to turn.

Gene Krause in Apollo13.
