Wharfmaster Posted July 24, 2012 Share #88 Posted July 24, 2012 Any new Logbooks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyM Posted August 12, 2012 Share #89 Posted August 12, 2012 Any new Logbooks? This logbook page is from a copy of Richard H. Best's flightlog. He was the CO of VB-6 at the Battle of Midway. I have worked for years to document as many flights as I can into a database. Dick Best was good enough to send me copies of his flight logbook for Dec 41-Jun 42 several years ago.

Dave Posted January 29, 2013 Share #92 Posted January 29, 2013 This is one I hope to get good scans of in the not too distant future (when I can actually have my hands on the original!) He was a pilot in VC Squadron 9 and it was concluded that he failed to return due to ditching after becoming low on fuel (that was his last radio transmission). His remains were never recovered. Here's the last page in his logbook (the rest of the logbook is relatively unexciting...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 29, 2013 Share #93 Posted January 29, 2013 And a photo of him out of his Soviet award document (he received the award posthumously). Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltz41 Posted February 13, 2013 Share #94 Posted February 13, 2013 I just spent a good half hour going through this thread....can't believe I missed it before. I'm basically in awe of some of the posts. These are one of my favorite items to collect and look for (only 3 so far, and all of your stuff blows mine out of the water!!), I just feel they tell such a complete story for an individual. Thanks everyone for posting. Amazing collections everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent_flyer Posted October 18, 2013 Share #96 Posted October 18, 2013 Kurt, I work for the Naval Air Systems Command. I'm looking into getting some details from those early training floghts once the got to their primary aircraft and the training they did before getting their carrier qualification. They should have done field carrier landing practice with LSO observing. They would have done 8-9 FCLPs per sortie. Just looking to see how many sorties of FCLPs were flown and where. They would have then gone to NAS Glenview and done two FCLPS sorties before being cleared to do their first carrier landing on one of two converted paddle wheel steamers to a flat deck on the Great Lakes. The training carriers would have been the USS Wolverine or the USS Sable. Can you post several pages that include the first CQ landings and the month or two that preceded their first landing on the ship? Thanks in advance, Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KASTAUFFER Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share #97 Posted August 29, 2014 Hi Buddy I missed your post the first time around. Do you want an example from just a single pilot? Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
