E-mail: Contact 		I'm seeking information about John D. Curd and his brother Travis A. Curd, who was killed in a flying accident in North Carolina 21 August 1943.

The brothers served with the Royal Canadian Air Force before transferring to the USMC in May 1942.

E-mail: Contact 		My wife's uncle was Michael F. Mazepa. He was a gunner in Lieut. Glenn W. Smith's plane which was shot down over Rabual on May 4, 1944.
We are hoping to find one or more pictures of him on your web site.
Can you tell me the number on their plane?
Can anyone point out pictures with him it?
Any help would be appreciated.

As I read about your efforts I marvel at the heroic efforts you undertook with flights every day and night. I am in awe.

E-mail: Contact 		Good Day to All,
Mt father, Weston Nickerson JR., served on the island of Emirau while in the US Navy. I know that the year was in 1944 since I have dated photos from Imirau. He was a signalman stationed on land(not a ship at this time). I realize this is a Marine unit but just wondering if anyone knew some of the Navy guys such as my father. Please send an email.

Thank you all,
Ralph Nickerson

From: Alton, IL
E-mail: Contact 		My father was John D. Curd and flew with the 413. I think for only a couple of months. I have the letter when he was awarded the Air Medal while he flew with the 413 in July 1945. I have his flight books and some of the names of the co-pilots listed during July & August 1945 were: Brigham, MacLean, Henry, Noll, Willis, Jones, Anderson, Nelson, Leggio, and Cunningham. Do any of these names sound familiar? Does anyone remember my dad?

E-mail: Contact 		My grandfather was Sgt. James E. See. We have a copy of the squadron photo on your website. He never talked much about his war days, but his service in WWII is a source of great pride for all of us.

Would love to hear from anyone who remembers him or has stories of those days.

We are all so grateful to the VMB413 and all of our country's WWII veterans!
