Patti - Sorry it has taken so long to see this. My dad was the navigator on the Mars aircraft from 1945 - 1947. Ask your dad if he knew Hank Stubler. He flew between Alameda and Pearl Harbor and where ever else they went!
I hope your dad had a great 80th birthday party!

My dad was a radio operator on the Martin Mars during the Korean war and for 3 years he traveled from S.F. to Honolulu weekly tranporting "precious cargo", as he says. I'm looking for memorabilia for his 80th birthday Jan.17,2010. Please help!

Most of these pictures were taken at Lake Elsinore CA. This plane would fly over my house when it would make its approach to the lake to scope up water for the San Diego fires.
