Edward Herman Seiler (USNA'39)

Qualified as a naval aviator in 1942. In 1944 he took command of VBP-207 flying PBM-3S Mariners. Does anyone know what he was doing 1942-44? I assume he was a seaplane or flying boat pilot.

Post war he served in a number of staff appointments before he was tragically killed in a flying accident in 1958.

regards

Keith
