Clete that 140-144 1939 CAA band came from a pretty trusted
source

I DID goof in that 'apb' on TBMs.  Guy flew SBDs, it's predecessor.
& w/o going to notes, WE 233 came along @ end of Lt Dusty's 1943
TDY.  Think I need to call him & ask where the #@$$ it went

If you remember I posted on the YG/ZB in svc & guy came right back w.
huge praise for system saying something like "don't leave home
without it"
