Hi Rob, I would like to talk to you about Archie Donahue and Dean Caswell, (I am spending this weekend with Archie and his wife Mary, as well as "Tex" Hill and his wife Mazie). My Father was on a destroyer running plane guard for the Bunker Hill the day she was attacked by the two kamikazes and have some pictures. I read your tribute http://www.aeroplanemonthly.com/warbirdindex/forum/show.asp?id=850&fid=28&tid=0 . I had the honor of meeting Dean Caswell at Archie's induction into the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame on Nov. 8 in Galveston. He is publishing a book on the events, but it is limited. e-mail me if you want more info.
