Ted Williams Photos

 

Sources say that during the 2nd World War and the Korean, Ted worked the role of the pilot. Prior to the war, Ted was classified to be a “3-A” judged by the “Selective Service”. This was a deferment on dependency which was owing to the fact that for his mother Ted was the only support.  When the U.S. finally entered the war, his classification changed to the ranks of being a “1-A”. Williams made an appeal and his prior status was not changed. Following that, Williams spoke publicly and openly that he would enlist once he can set up his mother’s trust fund, however, media criticism and an early withdrawal from a contract of “Quaker Oats” which resulted into getting enlisted in 1942.

Williams had the option of taking ‘an easy assignment’ and play along with the Navy. Instead, he chose to train as ‘Naval Aviator’ and took on the ‘V-5 program’. Initially, Williams was sent to the famous “Navy’s Preliminary Ground School” which is present at the “Amherst College”. This training was for six months of which included subjects like navigation and math, where he scored a 3.85. John Pesky, his fellow team mate from the Red Sox, was there in the same center with him stated that Ted Williams took fifteen minutes what took other cadets an hour on the average, and the most surprising of all was that half the cadets were college graduates.
