VF-38 Intelligence Officer.

Hi

I am trying to establish whether this Homer Othel Brooks was an Intelligence officer in the US Navy during WWII. His age would be about right. I have a picture of a Lt Homer O Brooks on board USS Long Island en route to the Solomons during summer 1943.

From Ancestry.com

Homer Othel Brooks
Born 12th March 1913 - Died 28th Dec 1975 San Diego, CA

Social Security No 556381571

Thought to be him but no proof yet. We know the real one lived at this address in 1946.

Apartment 213, 1336 Park Street, Alameda, CA.

I would be very interested to hear from the family if you know of there whereabouts.

You never know who might be 'googling!'.

regards

Mark -

For what it's worth, my great list of USN aviation types (23,000+ entries/probably around 18,000 individuals) shows LT Homer O Brooks at Ream Field, NAAS Otey Mesa, in July 1943 in the CVEG-38 ACIO slot. Of course, for all I know, I may have gotten that from you.
