Re: Leroy Freeman Berkebile USN
Once again gentlemen you are unravelling my mystery. Grateful thanks. Based on this is it possible he was with VB-4?
"On December 28, 1944, Marine Squadrons VMF-124 and VMF-213 replaced VB-4 on the Essex (See War Diary of Two Marine Squadrons). Several of the VB-4 pilots were assigned to VF-4 as Hellcat pilots and the remainder of the squadron was sent to Orate Airfield on Guam."
I think I shall try and track down VB-4 war diary and see if he appears there.
best regards
