RE: the Hawaii Mars story on page 11.

Only 7 of the Mars flying boats saw service and two still exist. Destined for the scrappers the last four Mars flying boats were bough by a Canadian group to fight forest fires in British Columbia in 1959 for the sum of about $250,000. Included were several boxcars of spare parts and drawings.

Marianas Mars was lost while conducting a fire suppression mission in 1961 with the loss of all four crew members. Caroline Mars was damaged beyond repair in a typhoon in 1962.

Philippine Mars and Hawaii Mars took up the fire fighting missions. Philippine Mars has retired from it’s forest fire fighting duties and is being restored as a museum piece. Hawaii Mars is still seeing some action as a forest fire bomber but is slated for museum service in the near future.

Well, we could start another argument about who knew what or should have done what before Pearl Harbor.

[colorado tanker]

Why were they called MARS? Was it because Martin made them?

[colorado tanker]

Churchill's entry today doesn't exactly jibe with the Times' claim of "marked progress." Churchill and Truman are finding out just how deep into Europe Stalin intends to extend Soviet influence.

And there wasn't a darn thing they could do about it.

[colorado tanker]

Thanks for the reminder, Homer, that men are still fighting and dying in the Philippines “mopping up.” What a horrid term.

[Hebrews 11:6]

How DARE you! What nerve! You’ll be sorry.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Sounds just fine. You start.

The first Atomic Bomb, "Little boy", was currently on board the USS Indianapolis on the way to Tinian 22JUL45.

[Rebelbase]

“In line with the company practice of choosing names that started with “M,” the big flying boat was dubbed Mars.”

Thanks!

So according to page 16 the Methodist Church started circling the drain in 1945 when it started ordaining women.
