Identification via email by Charles O. Greenlaw, 1-21-06 Editor's Note: I thank Charles for identifying the airplane for us. I am well satisfied that he is correct and I appreciate his comments on the distinguishing features. However I also thank Robert Arnold for his suggestion that it might have been a PV-2. I must depend on others to make such identifications as I am totally inadequate in the matter. |
by email from Robert Arnold, 6-26-05 The "damaged plane" in the Phillipines in 1945 looks like a PV-2 to me. In 1945, I was attached to a CASU (forget the number) on Samar and we were handling a squadron of PV-2's although we were supposed to deal with carrier based planes. It's barely possible that both my fathers' and my paths may have crossed with Walter's. Regards, Bob |
