CPO3. Raymond Francis "Butch" Corcoran DFS, BSw/V

US Navy VB-110 Fleet Air Wing 7

from:Chicago

My Father, Ray Corcoran was stationed at Dunkeswell with VB-110 as Plane Captain and Top Turret Gunner. He flew 26 missions over the Bay of Biscay with Joe Kennedy as his Pilot. My Father joined the Navy in 1936 and was discharged in 1940 after serving on the Aircraft Carrier Interprise. Shortly after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor he re-enlisted and went into aviation. I can only remember the names of Cook and Kennedy as members of the crew. I am hoping that I can gain more information by posting this. My Father has been gone since 1989. Unfortunately, I can't remember his stories and most anyone that would have experienced these times are of advanced age. I am also adding this because, aside from Hank Seale' book, "The Lost Prince", Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., there is little or no information concerning the crew members and what became of them.

This could be my Dad.
