Lt. Gordon Barrett "Ken" Kennington
US Navy Reserve VP-11
from:Dedham, MA
Gordon Kennington served as a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy during WW2. A pilot of PBY-5s, the Catalina Flying Boat, before and during the War, he trained many, and had five PBYs destroyed out from under him. One "friendly" bullet found his co-pilot, who died of his wounds. Most were operational losses, but one caught fire from flares that had set off. He and his aircrew swam to an enemy-held island, where he was greeted by a "naked savage", who asked, "You talk Jesus talk?"
I am seeking information on a Dallas Harding Jones, who served in PBYs before the battles prior to Guadalcanal. (And after, in the Bay of Biscay).
I have "Torpedo Run" already...
