John Danielewicz, a Seaman First Class aboard the USS Essex, helped shoot down four Japanese kamikazes as a loader on a five-inch gun crew. Oral historian Aaron Elson interviewed John in December of 2011, when John was 93 years old, for an article in the New Britain (Conn.) Herald. This is a lightly edited transcript of that interview. Please keep in mind that some 65 years had passed since the events described in this interview.
