  • Notes 
    • World War II Veteran
    • Paul Rockhill, Dec 2004, Written for a Posting on www.vpnavy.org: "...I served in VPB-205 in WWII at NAS Norfolk, Virginia; NAS Guantanamo Bay, Cuba;NAS Alameda, California; MCAS/NAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii; NAS Tanapag Harbor, Saipan, Marianas Islands; and NAB Chimu Wan, Ryukyu Islands, Okinawa, Japan as an Aviator and Aerial Navigator on PBM-5's doing anti-submarine patrols. Lt. Cmdr. Cattamol, Caribbean and Lt. Cmdr. Hansen, Central Pacific were our commanders. I was a member of Lt. William Raibley's crew, which also included Lt.(jg) Anderson, Co-Pilot; Seaman 1st Class Fowler, Flight Engineer; Crew Chief Running and others. One incident that happened has never been forgotten. We were flying a night patrol on August 6, 1945, while stationed at Saipan. The next morning when we returned we found out that the atomic bomb had been dropped on Hiroshima, while we were in the air. We were all very shaken then. Would enjoy hearing from any of my Shipmates..." BIO Updated 01 Dec 2004.
