"Woody" was born November 20, 1924 the son of the late Jesse Edward and Frances Moore Woodward. He was a member of Kingston Presbyterian church, and a member of American Legion Horry Post 111. He was a former member and past President of the Conway Kiwanis Club. His hobbies included hunting, fishing, gardening, and woodworking. Woodward volunteered for training with the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1943. He became a fighter pilot in the P-47 Thunderbolt and flew 30 missions before the war in Europe ended. He volunteered for duty in the Pacific but the war ended before his transfer. After WWII he spent time as an instructor pilot in the early jets and then was sent to Korea flying the F-86 fighter. After the Korean War, Woodward transferred to the Strategic Air Command and flew B-47 and B-52 bombers. Some of the patrol missions in the B-52 would last about 24 hours non-stop as the crew flew fully loaded with nuclear bombs from Glasgow, Montana to Newfoundland, across the Arctic Circle to Oregon and then back to Glasgow. Next came a period of flying the C-124 cargo plane to bases all over the world. Woodward???s last assignment with the US Air Force was in the Vietnam War as a Forward Air Controller flying the OV-10, a small, armed reconnaissance plane. His job was to spot the enemy, keep them busy, and direct the fire of the bigger jets when they arrived.Over his entire career, Woodward accumulated over 8,000 hours of flight time and was checked out in 18 different aircraft. He received many decorations including several Air Medals, the Air Force Commendation Medal, and the Distinguished Flying Cross. He retired from the Air Force in 1970. After the Air Force Woodward began a second career as a real estate agent with the Bob Burroughs Real Estate Company in Conway, SC. He retired permanently after about 8 years. He was pre-deceased by a brother, Jesse E. Woodward Jr.; a sister, Millie Lou des Plantes. He is survived by his wife of 64 years Vivian W. "Woodie" Woodward; a son William B.
