52-P-10
VP-52 spent time in Greenland - this may have been one of the better days they encountered. Photo: NAH003761 Caption: VP-52 received PBY-5s from VP-14 at NAS Pensacola in Jan, 1941 (52 was last sqd with PBY-2s, which were turned over to Pensacola for training) Planes flew for several months "as received," except for changing "14" to "52". Tail stripes were retained, I think, until planes were camoflaged during the summer. (Photo courtesy of the Naval Historical Center, US Navy) |
