David L. McDonald (1906-1997) was a United States Navy officer who retired with the rank of Admiral. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy (class of 1928) and later studied at the National War College (1950-1951). Commissioned as ensign in 1928, he was designated a naval aviator in 1931 and eventually rose to the rank of admiral in 1963. He served aboard several navy ships early in his career and commanded three others later; other postings included instructor at the Pensacola Naval Air Station, commander of the Sixth Fleet, and commander of U.S. Naval forces in Europe.
The David L. McDonald Papers consist of biographical material, addresses and remarks, statements before various committees, and audiotapes of press conferences, interviews, and news briefings.
