My group was
attached to Fleet Air Wing Four and supported, among
others, PB Squadron 136 located on Attu. Ensign G.
W. Richardson was the commanding officer of the
photo lab, Fleet Air Wing Four, and received letters
of commendation from PBS 136, Commanding Officer E.
F. Hayes. Today Johnnie, my wife, is my commanding
officer, and works with me to preserve these photos,
and to scan and pass them along for others to enjoy
and to appreciate what the Aleutian veteran's of
WW-II endured.
