73Remebering The Past, Remember In The Future
While on routine anti-submarine patrol, United States Navy PB4Y-1 BuNo 63948 was lost at sea along with a second PB4Y, BuNo 63940. A third aircraft in the patrol returned to base and reported the formation as having been attacked by German JU aircraft. It is unknown if the two missing planes were shot down or crashed at sea. On April 1, 1945, the aircraft were delisted and the crews officially deemed killed in action. My uncle, Donald Gamble, was an ordinance man on BuNo 63948.

64Taking the fight to Iran
Iran and their nuclear program has dominated the international news lately. There have been many debates and points of view discussed on the best way to deal with Iran. The options have included everything from continued economic sanctions, supporting Israel in an attack on their facilities to direct military action by the United States. Here, I take a different view and discuss other options to end the stand off.
