To Rick Young,

I just ran across this site, and saw the picture you uploaded. My dad is the 5th from the left, Lt Fred Savage, pilot of the Valiant Lady, and everyone in the pic was in that crew (3rd Photo Recon Sqdn). They did fly the Tokyo Rose a few times before their own plane got to Saipan, but they weren't officially assigned to the Tokyo Rose. My dad is 84, and I've been doing a video interview of him and making a scrapbook out of all the pics I've found. If you're interested, I'd love to send you what pictures and anything else I have, if you have any for me. Would love to hear from you!

David K. Bonelli, if you check this site again, please contact me. I just found your comments of 12/07 here. Dad was the co-pilot on the same plane as your grandfather. I've been trying to re-create Dad's travels from when he went in the service to when he got out, and it's a BIG challenge.

My email address is w9jbl@comcast.net

Thanks.

My Grandfather, Jack Bonelli, was the navigator aboard "Snoopin' Kid" in the Indo-China theater during WW II.

My father, 1st Lt. John B. Leonard, was co-pilot on the "Snoopin' Kid", F-13A SN. 42-93865. He was stationed in India, China and Guam. He was assigned to 1st PRS, Flt. "C", which was attached to the 3rd PRS. I've uploaded 2 pictures of the a/c and the crew. Dad is in the 1st row, center. He presently lives with my Mom in Ashland, VA.

Greetings,

My Father (George G. Young aka Bud, aka Ducky) flew on the Tokoyo Rose as a tail gunner. In the picture below, he is 4th from the right (the picture showing the recon and bomb runs). I always thought this was a B-29, but it could be a F-13A. He also flew on the B-25D, F-9, F-9B, F-10, F-13, F-13A and the B-29 (this is from his flight records I am currently putting into a album for my brother). Thanks for this sight, it has shed some light on the other types of aircraft my father was on. If you want to see more photos, just let me know.

Thanks again,

Rick Young
