Norm,
My God were they out of trucks, and the Marines had one helluva
job over there I must admit. Probably it was the terrain and
they had to make do with what they had. One of my Childhood
friends Clem Theed was flying cover out there during that island
hopping campaign. Fighter pilot not sure which plane he flew,
but he was lost in action during that messy operation. Years
later 1950 I was asked to be a pallbearer for his funeral
(in absentia) held in Miami, Fl and was honored to be one
of them!
