@UntoldWarFacts My father became a carrier pilot flying the SB2c-4 off the USS Bennington (CV-20).
He spoke many times about his carrier landings in Lake Michigan !!
@WarMonitor3 My father flew 8 missions over Japan.
Flew an SB2c-4 helldiver. Was on his way in for another drop when instructed to drop bomb in the sea and return to the Bennington (cc’d-20). Japan had surrendered !
