      Intel. has informed us that our 3 missing pilots are being held on Tanambogo Is. just off the So. coast of Florida Is. at the Jap float plane base. We have 6 captured jap float planes and 4 F4F available for this mission. We will fly the floats in and land and blow up the base and then recrew the 3 pilots as the F4F shoot up the place as a diversion and all get back to Henderson. This is a vol. mission. 10 brave pilots needed and remember that 'loose lips...sink ships'.

ps: I have this mission...let me know if anyone wants to fly it and when and I will launch it.

I think we should fly it tonight.

      We did not have an after mission debrief but it was quite exciting. We did rescrew one of our pilots from the enemy but two of the pilots flying the jap float planes crashed on landing and the four F4Fs put all bombs on the jap float plane base. We still have two Marine pilots being hald prisoner. We need to make an air strike on Tulagi and take out that float plane base.
      I have that mission if anyone is interested.  OOH-RAH!!

if we take that base we maybe can get two more of their float planes and try the rescue flight again.

No one left behind!

S!

When are we to fly this?

I was knapping this afternoon, and had my little radio on a local am channel.... there was a program on presented by the veterans of america.... they caught my attention when I heard  them mention they were going to do interviews of the VMF 214..... or the  "Black Sheep Squadron"   they had live interviews with some of the few living members of Boyingtons famous  Black Sheep... was very interesting ...for they have to be really getting up in their years by now.  They talked about   green island, and after they finished eliminating most of the japanese aircraft around Rabul  how they moved on...cant remember the last islands name but it was truely a good interview.....program was presented by the veterans of foreign wars........ any of you hear of anything like that????   Harrington was a brigader general...retired of course and also flew in the Korean war .
