George Henry Gay Jr. (1917 - 1994) A Douglas TBD Devastator pilot in United States Navy Torpedo Squadron 8 operating from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet in the Pacific Theater of Operations during World War II.

Typed letter signed on his Midway 8 letterhead, Naples, Florida, September 10, 1979, 1 page, 11 x 8.5 in., in part: 'I am more sorry for your delay here than in the others and I am truly upset about them...the label came off of your package before it could get to you....Your request for my comment when I autoscratched your bookis kinda special to me. It seema [sic] peculiar to me to even believe such a thing can be going on. I feel so unworthy...I especilly [sic] appreciate your confidence in early ordering...Seems doing my best in this case came up somewhat short of desirable. I hope you at least enjoy 'Sole Survivor'. Signed at conclusion in blue ink. Mailing fold. Very good.
