I'm lucky enough to have Internet access to my Dad's PBY logbook, but when I checked for his location when he'd possibly heard the news of the D-Day invasion, there were no entries for June.
So I asked him where he was on that day, nearly 70 years ago, and he answered, "I was waiting for orders to the Southwest Pacific at Point Loma Naval Air Station, California."
Q: Did you see the end of the two-front war approaching?
A: "We weren't aware of the significance of D-Day for months".
