The below photo has February 1943 written on the back with the names of those in the photo. It seems the photo was taken prior to the VMF-213 deployment to the Solomon Islands. Due to the timing, the location is likely Hawaii; this would be consistent with Charles Winnia's Diary of a Corsair Pilot.
The individuals are identified on the back of the Photo as:
- Front Row: Pharmasist Underhill; Lt. Kleinn; Lt. Kraft, Lt. Jones; Lt. Commander Reinertsen; and Lt. Livingood.
- Back Row: Lt. Col. Bidwell; Lt Holt; Capt. Hurlbutt; Gunner Branson; Lt. Commander Nezburn; Lt. O'Connell; and Lt.(j.g.) Peacock.
The structure in the background has what appears to be a "V5" over the entrance.
If you have any information regarding the photo, the individuals in the photo, the location, or the "V5" designation, please feel free to contact me using the form below.
