Last time I saw it was in 2008. They may have updated with the correct history.
I only saw this in front.

Did you get my PM on an unrelated matter?

I did TJ and it worked like a charm. :) Family members have already contacted me with extensive details. Thanks!

Did I read that someone wanted to see the logbooks? The history as reported is not correct. I don't believe this airplane ever actually went to Pearl Harbor. Jan7, 1946 Pearl: Jan 9, 1946 San Diego: Jan 21, 1946 San Diego. From my reading so far, it was planned to be shipped to Pearl, but never made it and stayed stateside. There's a lot of detail in the books to go over and it is quite a read. It has all of the pilots who flew it's names, flight time, mission and dates in the books. Fascinating!!
