I was gratified to discover the 433 site...my Dad was Randy Sullivan (flew with Green and Adams as a bomb/nav.) He pasted in 1973. I discovered the 433 War Diaries (and associated unit data on the site for "Fold3" where they posted the recently declassified (2014) 433 (and other) logs, photos, etc. Lots of details of the ops, who, what, where, and when. Would love to speak with anyone who knew him, or family with photos.
Semper Fi.

I would like to add the name of a missing casualty to your list. If you check the PBJ-1D BuNo 35106 passenger manifest when it went down on 2 September 1944 you'll find the turret gunner, Sergeant Harold F. Stowe, is missing from the list. The 6th crewmember name you have, Corporal Leonard G. Klinger, was actually a passenger on board flying as an observer. Just want to make sure we remember ALL of them! You guys are doing a great job!

My uncle, mom's brother was Eddie Israel. I have his service portrait from mom after she passed away. She was able to get Eddie's service record and I was very interested in the fact that he flew in B-25s as I was not aware that the USMC flew them in WW2.

Just recently spoke with Don Tatreau. Was thrilled to be able to speak to someone from the unit.Don offered to send any info he may have to help out. MANY THANKS DON!!! To clarify about the confusion on my father I have a few insights. Looking at his log books though he flew with many pilots and co-pilots the vast majority was with Adams or Green as the pilot and Evans as the Co-pilot. Seems like on most of his missions Adams was his pilot until mid October 1944. At that point Green appears to have taken his place. My father is listed on the muster roll on page 73. He is also pictured on page 42 (second picture down on left side)of the cruise book. He is kneeling in the front row far right. Any info on him or the unit that can be shared is welcomed
Thanks
Randy Snook son of J.Roy Snook

Does anyone know what happened to Roy Snook from VMB433. We have a mystery that someone is trying to solve for Roy's son, Randy: Roy is listed in the VMB433 roll of honor deceased list but we can't locate record of him in the other materials related to VMB433.

If you know something, please do post, I will check this venue from time to time to see if any answers. Thanks so much! My email on record that the webmaster has is not working so I'm using another email temporarily.

Jane, Bill Parks daughter, VMB433

To Randy who posed in 2010. I have received word from Don Tatreau, one of the fine VMB433 members that he has some photos that you would like, I believe your post was in 2010 and not sure you are still here but would you let me know? Jane

Hello: I would be happy to talk with the daughter of our Dad's best friends, how can we get in touch? Also Bob Burns son, that is terrific that you found the log book on ebay. SO GOOD to see all the other family members. Yes, this was a very special group and I miss all of them. I do speak with Don Tatreau regularly and have called some from the muster list from when the group last met for reunions. I will never forget those gatherings. We are family…

Jane

I just received a WWII era copy of the VMB-433 History and Cruise Log that I found for sale on ebay. My dad, Robert Burns, was a mech/gunner with 433. He passed away in November, 2009, so this was a very special find.
