Click Here's a New Request.

This request is from Captain Irving Mayer an F6F Hellcat Pilot.
On April 9th 1944, at the Truck Atoll, on the island of Uman at about 10 a.m.
He was going after a gun emplacement and was hit by the guns on a Japanese ship.
What ship was this and who was the gunner. Is there anyway to know.  He has no hard feelings and would like to meet or make contact with the gunner.  Irving was with another airplane in a dive and the gunner may not know that he hit him, but the shells damaged his tail section and hit the armor on the back of his seat really hard.  Irving said that he knew that he was hit, but felt no problems until he landed and then damaged the plane on landing.  Irving Mayer wrote "I thought that I killed Ernie Pyle"
If anyone can give any help, contact me here.

B-17 Pistol Packin Mama WWII Exhibit

Lt. John Story, B-17 The Powerful Poodle Exhibit

A reprint of the official government handbook designed to show the new cadet how  to fly the aircraft. Heavily illustrated with dozens of photos, diagrams and charts. 146 pgs., 8½"x 11", sfbd.

Book Description
The Consolidated B-24 Liberator first saw combat in June of 1942, making a daring raid into Nazi-occupied Romania to bomb the oil fields at Ploesti. Nearly 18,500 Liberators were built during the war years, making it by far the most-produced American combat aircraft. It served in many roles beyond heavy bomber, transport, and anti-submarine patrol, and flew in Africa, Europe, India, the Atlantic, India and the Pacific Theatre. Originally printed by the United States Army Air Force in 1942, the B-24 Liberator Pilot's Flight Operating Manual taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit. Originally classified "Restricted", the manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. This affordable facsimile has been reformatted, and color images appear as black and white. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.

Born out of an approach made by the US Army Air Corps to Consolidated for a bomber with superior performance to the B-17, the  Liberator was built in record numbers as the Allies' most abundant heavy bomber. From the first to see combat, the B-24D, to the  ultimate Liberator, the heavily modified PB4Y-2 Privateer, all navy versions are featured in this, the first of four volumes on the B-24  family. 

Book Description
Ever present in the Pacific from Pearl Harbor to VJ-Day, the B-24 Liberator proved to be the staple heavy bomber of the campaign. From its ignominious beginnings in the Allied rout in the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, the bomber weathered the Japanese storm with a handful of bomb groups, which played a crucial role in checking the enemy's progress firstly in New Guinea, and then actively participating in the 'island hopping' campaign through the south-west Pacific.
