My WW2 Dad just gave me a stack of these ID cards. They were in use from atop a New Hampshire fire-tower!

He also placed his VP-11 logbook (WW2) on the Web. Listed there, was a co-pilot who was killed beside him—taking fire from P-40s. I don't know how US fighters mistook a two-engine PBY for a four-engine Kawanishi "Emily".

I also didn't know that there was a second bombing of Pearl Harbor! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawanishi_H8K
