My father in law has told me an interesting story about a crash of a
Martin P5M Marlin flying boat patrol bomber. The crash occured in 1954
near Horta, Azores Islands.

his sounds like the VP-44 P5M crash on "take off" with four crew
members killed, but that crash is referenced by a surviving crew member
as being on 11 NOV 1956.


Could well be. My father in law was assigned to the Currituck from 1953 to
1958 I believe. He is 86 this year so sometimes his memory is better than
other times. Thanks.
