You hear quite a bit about it in the Pacific but not alot about the Atlantic. IMO it was just as important if not more important. Robert |

My father was a gunner on a PB4Y2 out of Bermuda. He was certainly happy to stay out of the Pacific. |

My salute to him. I bet he was. I would be too. All those miles and miles of nothing. Robert |

I do love the Southern Atlantic due to the airships being used like the K-110 from the ZP-42 Squadron which was based at Santa Cruz, Brazil . Robert

"All those miles and miles of nothing." There's an awful lot of nothing in the Atlantic too. Kinda like the "Massive" being dwarfed by the "Gargantuan". |

True but at least you have the Bahamas and Brazil  . And with the Airships it was a somewhat leisurely ride.
The state where I live is where the Tillimook Naval Air Stationis and where ZP-33 was stationed. I have visited the hangar quite a few times and am always awed by it.Its a shame it's twin burned down so many years ago. The Forgotten Blimps
