Re: VP-52 on the Bismarck Hunt
Errors in article include:
Recce flight was never for West Coast of Greenland, only for East Coast of Greenland. He says four (4) PBY-5 came from VP-14, but record cards indicate 5 were assigned first to VP-14 - one via NAS San Diego - Other 6 came direct (new).
He says "Plane 7" (used on Greenland flights) was his plane, but his combat Carreer details (found in internet) indicate he did not participate in these (?) His logbook might solve this, but he has passed away. Anyone know of where they are, or copies, can anybody help?
Two serials have been given for 52-P-7, but six serials/code tie-ups are known (some thought correct) but few of them are actually confirmed. 2291 was 14-P-11 and appears confirmed by photo.
