| Kenneth L. Locke Raytown, MO | On your website listing seven serial numbers of PBY-5's, do you have the present location of serial number 08124? I flew it from Manus to Kaneohe, Hawaii July 27, 1945 through August 11, 1945 and wondered why the navy risked a crew to get this junker to Hawaii and I've often wondered where it ended up. 01/17/2008 @ 17:16 [ref: 19338] |
| Norbert W. Muench Seminole, FL | This is to corrct a comment previously made. The First International Ice Patrol Flight was on 6 February 1946. Also the use of aircraft was made possible by the use of the Loran navigation system which made it feasible to give the exact location of the Icebergs. 01/18/2005 @ 13:33 [ref: 9170] |
