Log Book: Howard, Walter
From; To: approx; Site-to: inferred; Action; Crew
Note: Mr.Howard had been flying in the crew of
Lt.(jg) Clark, who departed Kaneohe for Barking
Sands on 1942-May-20. The notes in pencil also
indicate that operations from Barking Sands began
on 1942-May-20. I suspect that Mr.Howard didn"t
really depart early (1942-May-16), return for one
flight out of Kaneohe (1942-May-18), then re-join
his regular crew at Barking Sands (1942-May-20); I
believe the log yoeman grouped the flights by
plane type and inadvertently recorded advance base
operations as beginning on the boundary. It"s
likely that this flight was out of Kaneohe. I"ll
verify with Mr.Howard.
