RECOMMENDED:
PBY-5A, BuNo. 48445, Lt(jg). Howard Miner, VP-54, Henderson Field, Guadalcanal,
Solomon Islands, 1944
VP-54 was established on November 15, 1942,
at NAS Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii and was equipped
with PBY-5A aircraft. Basic training was
followed by two weeks of night flight training,
after which the unit was deployed to the combat
zone, where it conducted anti-ship and anti-
submarine patrols, flights in support of ground
forces, and rescue missions. It continued these
operations from airfields in the Solomon Islands
even after the unit was reactivated at NAS San
Diego in California in early 1944. A photograph
from this period shows an aircraft designated
D65 with a drawing of a young woman on the
right side of the nose. Catalinas used for night
flights were entirely camouflaged in black paint,
which suffered greatly in the tropical and humid
environment and quickly faded.
