Irvin Sullivan

Irvin Sullivan was born in Amarillo, TX but was living in Wichita, KS at the time he was inducted into the Navy. Irvin entered the Navy in 1941 and served in WW II as a LT. Commander pilot/navigator in the South Pacific. His PGY squadron was the original VP 12 Black Cat Raiders. The group began flying at night to do more damage to the Japanese and is why they were known as the Black Cat Raiders. Courtesy of KSN news
