==Namesake==
Half of Torpedo Squadron Eight (VT-8) remained in Norfolk, Virginia, after its aircraft carrier , left for the Pacific in May 1942, in order to replace their obsolescent Douglas TBD Devastators with Grumman TBF Avengers. The 21 aircraft reached Hawaii on May 29, the day after ''Hornet'' had departed the island to fight in the Battle of Midway. Because Midway Island's airfield had some space available, Fieberling took six Avengers there. On June 4, the first day of the battle, he led his detachment in an attack on the Japanese aircraft carriers. Of the 18 men, only Ensign Albert K. Earnest and Radioman 3rd Class Harrier H. Ferrier survived. Fieberling was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.
