Hopefully Mr. Hemiman will stop by. This is his memorial and always great to hear from him.

On Nov 2, 1943, the 5th AF visited Rabaul and Simpson Harbor. The 3rd Attack Group sent their 3 B-25 Squadrons, the 8th, 13th and 90th from 4Y at Dobodura to join the 345th and 38th.

76 Years ago right down Mango Avenue ...

Evening Mark. Sadly, photo bucket has destroyed my post. What really hurts is that my good General, Bill Webster, made his final flight West and I wasn't able to honor him in the manner I wanted to. I did post a bunch of the original pics on the B-25 page on facebook, so a feeble attempt has been made. As soon as I find another way , I will redo them and add many more. I recently was blessed by becoming the recipient/ care taker of 8th Squadron Intel Officer Bob Speith's massive photo collection. Those will be added! Again, sorry about the mess and I will do my best to rectify the problem.

Bill

Again Mark did it again. What a adrenaline rush that must have been.

Back to the top for Dad, Bill Webster and the rest of the Reaper family. I did add some of the Spieth Collection to my facebook pages, so if you're still interested, take a peek!
