Re: Ensign Darrell C. Bennett question
We have many photos. Give some time and we can try to post. He was in the air when the Gambier Bay went down. He landed with the other planes from the morning mission. The airstrip was in bad shape to say the least. Planes were lost on the ground. The marines were there in force when he landed at the Tacloban strip. They had "just bombed the hell out of this strip" but the seabees were filling and flagging the bomb craters.
