@Son_of_Sandor@Ozatwar Have you read about that flight? Anything learned from direct discussions? -
@JsrRoger Yes. Dad was stationed at Hickam until March 1941 & his 39th, 40th & 41st Fighter Squadrons were the replacements for the 21st & -
@Son_of_Sandor Daddy was there until the Sept ’41 flight. He was communications section head – code/radio/etc and in-flight training -
@JsrRoger My Dad was a Crew Chief of a 4th Recon, 5th BG B-18 until he changed to Fighters. Paths crossing again??? http://www.flickr.com/photos/peacelovescoobie/5642491278/ … -
@Son_of_Sandor B-17s Service in Pacific Theater: http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_bombers/b17_20.html … 14th Sq had gone to Mindanao w B-17s shortly b 4 Clark was bombed -
@JsrRoger BTW Dad’s brother Billy 11th Airborne brought the fight back to Philippines. Messed him up, never recovered http://www.flickr.com/photos/peacelovescoobie/6341214851/ … -
@Son_of_Sandor Tragic and I understand that. My dad had “war nerves” the rest of his life…which he ended when he was 56.

@JsrRoger@Son_of_Sandor very interesting exchanges. Great when you can find out more about fathers or relatives who served.
