President George H.W. Bush; Aim High: Courage and focus propelled him through war and to the White House.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)
Byline: JAMES DETAR
On June 13, former President George H.W. Bush jumped out of an airplane at 13,000 feet to celebrate his 80th birthday.
It wasn't his first parachute jump.And it certainly wasn't his most dangerous one.
That would be a jump he made in World War II when he was a young Navy pilot stationed on the aircraft carrier USS San Jacinto.
Bush had earned his wings at 19, the youngest World War II Navy pilot at the time.
Being part of a Navy team came easy for him, "I liked the teamwork and camaraderie," Bush said in his autobiography, "Looking Forward."
His mission on Sept. 2, 1944, was to destroy a radio station on Chichi Jima Island. The Japanese used the station to broadcast warnings of U.S. bomber runs.
