Lieutenant Commander Stanley Auslander, US Naval Reserve, a long-time Warwick resident and patrol bomber pilot, sank one German U-boat and damaged another off the coast of Brazil. He later flew patrols from England before and after D-day, and is credited with homing a British destroyer in to sink another U-boat. He earned a Distinguished Flying Cross and two Air Medals for these actions. The New York City native also flew with the Navy’s Special Project Unit Cast, testing new radar and electronics equipment.
