Re: Emergency Rescue boat squadron USAAF P.I. 1945

There is a description of the event here:

If you use Google Chrome you also get the option of a translated version.

Tablones Islands are just a couple of big rocks off the Philippines. They were used for bombing and naval gunnery practice for years.

The closest crash boats may have been based in Subic Bay (14th ERBS) although there is no mention of a June 1 rescue effort on this site: http://scottdavis61.com/14th.htm
