VP AircraftAIRCRAFT: PBY ThumbnailCameraVP-53 BUNO: Unknown "...My father, John H. Scott, Jr. (now deceased), served with VPB-53 and was from New Jersey and he was a Radioman 3rd Class. He was sent to NAAF Green Island in April, 1945 and then on to Samar to the end of the war. Prior to then he served with ZP-31 (blimps). I don't have names to go with the pictures. If anyone can put names to the faces they should email me. Also, my father is not in the crew photo in front of the plane so I don't know if that was his crew or not. The following photograph's were taken on NAAF Green Island and Samar between April to November 1945. Fred Henning has identified the pilots as Harvey Walls (third from the riight in the khakis) and Lloyd Pfaff in the shorts. The center pilot (with the ammo) he thinks is J.B. Calhoun but he is not sure. The only picture my father is in is the big group shot on NAAF Green Island. He is in the back row - the only guy with a shirt on.
