Good people:

I am looking for anyone who may have known my grandfather, David R. Berry Commander of VB-3 from March-May 1945. In particular, I believe he had a good friend with the last name of "Mitchell."

With VB-3, he carried out 20 air strikes against enemy defensive positions in Nansei Shoto and Kyushu and on March 19, 1945, attacked Kura Harbor. On April 7, 1945, I also believe he attacked a Japanese battleship in the East China Sea. On his last mission, he commanded VB-83 on an attack of the Saeki airfields and SS Kuyushu known as “Strike 305 Saeki.” Anti-aircraft fire from Onyu Shima firing at planes over Saeki Wan, likely struck his plane under the right wing.

  He was survived by his wife, Jacqueline (now deceased) and then-baby daughter (my mother who lives in New York).

Any information is much appreciated. Emails can be sent to platt_@hotmail.com

Thank you.

Jon

Thank you in advance. I am trying to locate contact information for Maynard Mitchell, a VB-83 bomber pilot and friend of my grandfather (David R. Berry). I believe he is living in or near Jackson, MS but can't seem to locate him.

Sincerely,

Jon
