Maybe someone works there might have an answer or at least give you a lead.



Good advice snipped. Thanks for the help. My friend contacted the base
PAO who put him in touch with the local history guy where he found that
there was only one training squadron at the time, which was VPB-2. They
did have four detachments spread around but all the planes (PBY-5's)
where painted identically so he's all set. thanks again for the help.
