I know this is an older post, but I can shed some light on the questions on VPB-106 Crew 3 being shot down over Singapore, 6/1/1945. My Great Uncle Beauran O’Kane was aboard as the tail gunner, PB4Y-2 BUNO# 59563 pilot HF Mears. My family has been researching this loss for 3 generations. With our research, we have found that all 12 were lost that day. In 2002, were provided first hand accounts, pictures, and military reports by Victor Walters who was aboard VPB-111 Crew 104, pilot Heyler. We currently have a Facebook page for this loss. We have recently have been able to recover the original pictures and after action reports of this flight. If interested
