John C. Waldron
United States Navy officer (1900–1942)
John C. Waldron
John Charles Waldron (August 24, 1900 – June 4, 1942) was a United States Navy (USN) aviator who led a squadron of torpedo bombers, Torpedo Squadron 8 aboard USS Hornet, in World War II. While he was among the 29 men of the 30-man squadron who perished in the Battle of Midway, his decision to attack the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) carriers delayed the launching of a planned strike against the American carriers, enabling other USN planes to sink four of the IJN's seven fleet carriers then in service.
