Dave,
Nadzab is the airfield my uncle flew an A-20 Havoc out of. He died when he crashed
into the high mountains that surround Nazdab during a return from a training run, during
very bad weather. The 2 other crew members survived... and his crash site is documented
on the Ghosts of the Pacific web site (and the CD).
I try to collect anything I can about Nadzab (I've seen it as Nazdab in several places
on the web). Thanks for the post!

Thanks Al,

I'll keep an eye out for any more Nadzab and SWPA Havoc pics. I am sure
we all appreciate your uncle's sacrifice.
