BOBE, Sidney (Sid) 102227.1323@compuserve.com "...I was Plankowner in Patrol Wing 8 (later Fleet Air Wing 8 Hedron) NAS Norfolk, Virginia and NAS Alameda, California. I became Storekeeper striker 1941. I was assigned to Chief SK Burns in Disbursing, up to SK1c with Chief Alston (aka Sea-Pappy). CDR (to Commodore, poss Adm) John Dale Price CO; Aaron Putnam Storrs, LTCDR, XO until about 1943. Students of Naval Air History will know those names--an honor to have worked for them! FAW-8 well known in SF Bay area for dancing abilities of its personnel. I ocassionally still find 'girls' that recall our "Wing-Dings". Seeing VP-81, VP-2, VP-3, and VP-4 mentioned brings back memories of pre-war NAS Norfolk, Virginia days. If anyone knows of Stoney Arnold, Joe Cable, "Turlo O'Hagen", Tony Cinquano, LTjg A. Fogel, or anyone else from FAW-8's Pay Office? BIT OF HISTORY: FAW-8...arrived from NAS Norfolk, Virginia mid-December 1941, NAS Alameda, California and immediately was shipped to Pearl Harbor (by mistake which we learned about an hour too late) as we were in a 100? ship convoy. FAW-8 returned to NAS Alameda, California in January '42. PS: The west bound ship was chartered by the Army, the food was lousy, and many of the solders were seasick and had to be taught to heave over the leeside and not into the wind. BIT OF HISTORY: FAW-8, NAS Alameda, California; Lt.Cmdr J. V. (JigVictor) Riley and his crew died in a PV1 crash near the city of Redding, Calif.
