Porter flew a dive bomber with Bombing Squadron FIVE (VB-5), which was part of Air Group FIVE and attached to the USS Yorktown (CV-10) during World War II. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and 4 Air Medals for his WWII service. He flew several combat missions in the Pacific, including to Marcus Island, Wake Island, the Gilbert Islands, the Marshall Islands, and Truk Atoll. After WWII, Porter served aboard the USS Randolph (CVA-15). He eventually attained the rank of Commander and became the commanding officer of Heavy Attack Squadron 2 (VAH-2).
