Incidents of high time engine failures, fuel exhaustion, lost navigators, Philipine storms, remote islands, "N" tests, transportation of USO troops, lots of dead wieght cargo, liberty in Shigam-atusgi, Cavite City, Agana Guam, all are old fond memories. I served with WW2 vets and newbies from AT A school. Some of which still function today... A good Squadron, professional, safe and on time.. end
