My Dad was George J Gangler, Flight engineer top turret gunner B-24 Kensmen and is in the picture with Bob Hope on Owi just before they bombed Peleliu. I have his log book and 2 years ago retraced some of his flights over Palau and Corregidor. He was shot through the legs over Hong Kong harbor in 1944 and was awarded the distinguished flying cross for getting his plane back to clark field. I am b=very proud of his service.

Bob Drury and I, authors of "Halsey's Typhoon" are doing a book involving the Solomon Islands campaign in 1943. Would love to hear from men, or their sons/daughters, who served in the Air Force during that time. Thank you.

My Great Uncle was 2nd Lt Howard Munson. He was on Craps for the Japs and the plane was lost on a bombing mission. I have been looking for additional information on him and his crew. I have copies (hand copied) of the letters the family received from the government regarding his disapperance, but am interested in knowing if anyone knew him while in the service.

My grandfather, one of the best guys I have ever know was part of this group. His name was Vincent DeCesare formerly of Greenwich, CT and Berlin, CT. His wife Eileen has now passed as well. I think of him often and look forward to updates from this group.
