Tony Schneider completed naval flight training following graduation from Westminster College (Missouri) with a mathematics degree in 1939. He was commissioned as an ensign in United States Naval Reserve in 1940 assigned to Bombing Squadron 6 aboard ''Enterprise''. He launched from ''Enterprise'' on December 7, 1941 in an unsuccessful attempt to locate the Japanese fleet following the attack on Pearl Harbor. He flew from ''Enterprise'' for the Marshalls-Gilberts raids in February, 1942, and while ''Enterprise'' accompanied for the Doolittle raid in April. His Air Medal citation for the February raids reads: "Attacked enemy ships and shore installations in face of heavy anti-aircraft fire destroying large storehouse and damaging two bombers on ground with near misses."〔Karig, Walter, CDR, USNR and Kelley, Welbourn, LT, USNR "Battle Report Pearl Harbor to Coral Sea" Farrar & Rinehart (1944) p.341〕 He flew with C. Wade McClusky's SBD Dauntless dive bombers during the Battle of Midway, but a throttle malfunction caused his plane to run out of fuel as the dive bomber formation searched for the Japanese aircraft carriers. He spent three days in the Pacific before being rescued by a VP-23 PBY Catalina on June 6. He received his first Navy Cross for this action.
