Stephen W. Groves (1917 - 4 June 1942) was born in East Millinocket ME and graduated Schenck High School in 1934. After receiving a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Maine, he joined the Navy in December 1940 and was commissioned in April 1941. Becoming a Naval Aviator he joined USS Hornet in December ‘41. In April 1942 the Hornet transported Lt. Col. James Doolittle‘s Army Air Corps bombers to Japanese waters. This attack set the stage for the Battle of Midway on 4 to 7 June 1942, considered to be one of the most important battles of the war. During that battle Ens. Groves took off nine times and was one of six American planes that fought off a vastly superior Japanese force trying to finish off the Hornet. Ens. Groves never returned from his last flight and was awarded the Navy Cross. USS Stephen W. Groves is named in his honor. (from the USS Stephen W. Groves Website)
