Re: Robert Brownell Parker
On the subject of fighter escort I don't know whether you were aware that in August 1944 some Helldiver squadrons formed their own Hellcat fighter flights so as to try and ensure adequate escort. They were designated VFB, not to be confused with the later VBF designation that came with the splitting of fighter squadrons in January 1945.
