My father, Donald Wheatley, told me stories when I was growing up of his WWII experience. I remember watching WWII movies and shows with him. It was because of him that I developed a love for avaition. I even have all of his military items, pictures, and bomber jacket (which is very sentimental to me). He died in 1996. I wished he had lived to have seen this website. He would have been very happy. Thank you for putting this site together. It brings back fond memories of my father.

My father retired as a Lt. Col in 1967 out of Camp Pendelton, CA. He passed away in January 1981. I am a middle school US history teacher and was always curious about dad's WWII Service. His print squadron book was misplaced before I was Aware of it. My mother Phyllis who married dad at Cherry Point in 1943(?) is 90 and recently in assisted living in Dana Point, CA. I was going through a photo album and found a squadron 443 reunion photo and had my clue to dad's history. google search took me to the squadron web site. I have id'd Dad in a couple of photos. Thank you for keeping this legacy Alive for the children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren Of this "greatest generation" of American heroes. Ralph and Peter Soderberg June 9, 2010

Please contact me with any info or pictures from Shanghai China, Bombing Banshees. My father served with you and passed away in 1981. It is great to have the technology to contact anyone who knew my dad as a young adult since I was only 17 when he died. Thank you!
