To the Editor:
Stephen R. Gray enumerates the skills and virtues that allow a pilot to safely fly from and land on an aircraft carrier. We should compare these to lieutenant McCain's experience. When he was shot down over North Vietnam, lieutenant McCain did not safely bring his plane back to land on the carrier. Nor was this his first. Five times he ditched his planes in the jungle or in the sea. Is this the record from which we should draw comfort? There is no parachute to save us if he were to crash the ship of state.
