jeb137 Posted January 16, 2011 Share #168 Posted January 16, 2011 *This was in the photos as well -- not sure if this took place in Haiti or not Post 138 has a pic from Leatherneck Mag. That says VO-M9 based out of Bowen Field Port-au-Prince Haiti 1931 & 32. I suspect VO-M9 was in and out of Haiti at various “fields” until 1934.
