| Bob Kalis Marblehead, MA | Saw comment and apparent question by Bob Cooley of Highland,Ca. on your website, under PB2Y-5H page---wrong---I was ARM 3/c, and aerial gunner in VE-1 from its inception until disbanding after Iwo Jima---we had 6 PB2Y-3's---we were an experimentsl squadron, the 1st, and only one of its type---I can give you total history and info, but I am not sure who wants it---I await a reply--- 11/06/2007 @ 06:17 [ref: 18420] |
