| Andrew Carter carter@cstone.net Scottsville, VA | My father, Lt. Robert Carter, flew this plane with VP-149 from Tacloban airfield on Leyte Island, Philippines in 1945. They were doing mostly anti-submarine/anti-shipping patrols over the South China Sea as part of 7th Fleet, MacArthur's Navy. A fantastic article on the PV-1 appeared in a recent edition of Flight Journal magazine. I would also appreciate it if you would not refer to the PV-1 as a Harpoon. The Ventura was a hotter, more challenging plane to fly than the Harpoon, according to some vets I have contacted. 04/14/2003 @ 15:36 |
| Ben Giesa , NY | I came across this site by chance and saw the photo. My father was an ARM in the Navy during WWII and took one or two photos of the PV-1 while stationed in the Phillipines. It was somewhat nostalgic to see the photos presented on your site. As I recall he referred to the aircraft as the PV-1 Vega Ventura 08/15/2001 @ 07:54 |
| Anthony T. Jarvis vmfa@telusplanet.net Edmonton, AB | Did you know that the Ventura Memorial Flight Association (11410 Kingsway Ave., Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T5G 0X4, is restoring the last Lockheed ventura in Canada to airworthy condition? You can write to them at the mailing address and email above with questions about the aircraft type use around the world. Lots of information there! 07/02/2001 @ 18:22 |
| Brian Brumfield bsbrum@yahoo.com Northglenn, CO | Your site refers to the Lockheed Pv-1 as a "Harpoon" when in fact the PV-2 was the Harpoon. The PV-1 is the "Ventura." Nice to see this incredibly under rated aircraft represented here! 05/13/2001 @ 14:23 |
