     James Earnest Greenwood was born on 14 May 1925.¹ He was the son of Howard J. Greenwood and Sadie Ruth Erdman.¹ James Earnest Greenwood died on 16 April 1945, at age 19. It is not clear exactly where James died. In October 1944, he was serving as an aircraft ordnanceman on a light aircraft carrier, USS Bataan (CVL-29), which was part of a task force off of Okinawa. In April, 1945, Bataan's "aircraft took part in the Battle of the East China Sea, when American search aircraft spotted a Japanese task force built around battleship Yamato. Swarms of carrier aircraft attacked the Japanese force as it steamed south in an effort to disrupt the American invasion of Okinawa. Bataan's pilots claimed four torpedo hits on the giant battleship, as well as hits on a cruiser and two destroyers, that helped sink most of the Japanese task force.
"Bataan spent the next 10 days alternating between CAP sweeps over Okinawa and air strikes on southern Kyushu and nearby islands. Every three days or so, she retired eastward to refuel, rearm, and replenish at sea. During four enemy attacks on the task group over this period, one crew member was killed and 24 wounded when the ship was sprayed with shell fragments."
It is possible that James, an aircraft ordnanceman 2nd class, was injured or killed in this action.^1,2,3,4,5,6 He was buried on 22 May 1950, at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA; James was killed in action in WW II on April 16, 1945, while serving in the US Navy in Asia.
