pearl harbor, why no usn a/c in the air? by
old hoodoo
I have never heard of a single navy aircraft getting airborne at Pearl Harbor. Was this because all the naval aircraft were based
at a single facility? Has there ever been an accounting of what actually happened to immobilize the navy air?

map of santiago harbor, cuba by
old hoodoo
Does anyone know of where a good map of Santiago harbor (Cuba) could be
located?

or husband tends to be too much into small problems, that why can't they see
the "big picture"? Sometimes you do not want all the details when you call
back home.
The other problem is that when someone dies, the fellows...

What is Happening with T-34C's? by
ORVAL FAIRAIRN
I understand that the T-34C is now phased out of Naval service. I have
also heard rumors that the Navy, in their infinite wisdom, is going to
cut them all up, rather than sell them to willing civilian buyers.
Anybody out there know the truth?
