Richard A. McDerby demonstrating a Eureka boat..

As chief instructor at the Higgins Boat Operators School, Mr. Mac trained more than thirty thousand men in the proper operation of the landing craft, and he showed us all how it is done on 30 October 1999 when, at the age of 89, he hit the beach at the helm of the PA33-21.
