'''Jack Stephens Hall''' was a US naval officer, pilot, flight instructor, and is listed at the Naval Aviation Museum as being the first announcer/narrator for the 1946 Blue Angel air shows. He had also announced many Blue Angel air shows in the 1950's and even as late as 1968 at Corry Field. He had been a fighter and bomber pilot in both WW2 and Korea, a flight instructor to several Blue Angel pilots, and an instructor in nighttime maneuvers to England's Royal Air Force in the 1950's. His last assignment was as Administrative Officer at Saufley Field from 1962-64, just before his retirement at the rank of Commander.
