Are you referring to the guy who jumps up onto the burning Hellcat to rescue the pilot? If so, I'm pretty sure he was given an award - and I think he was a medic on board the carrier.

 On the way to Tarawa for the invasion. This was about a week or so before the big day and shows the Catapult Officer leaping up to assist the pilot. (About 44 secs into that video clip). Both survived without major injury. |
