Hi all,
The pilot is my uncle. Bub was his last Kittyhawk, the one he flew home to an aircraft wrecking yard in Queensland, Australia. Cleo 1 was trashed at Milne Bay, Cleo 2 was hit in the radiator by Japanese ground fire, he was picked by a US Catalina rescue crew. Cleo 3 was the one he flew home. Which is how we remember her.
