llovey Point Group
Contacted feps In
Dig Pacific Battle
Of interest to people of Hertford
was the news released last Friday
that a group of PBM's flown by men
formerly stationed at Harvey Point
played an important role in the huge
battle staged two weeks ago near
the Marianas, during which the Japs
lost many ships and more than 300
pianes.
The story written by William L.
Wordan, Associated Press writer,
stated the PBM's had flown thou
sands of miles to maintain contact
with the Jap fleet as the task force
attempted to join the battle.
One group of the PBM's were di
rected to land near Saipan and it
was Lieut. Comdr. William Scarpino
who led this group. They found the
Jap fleet there. Lieut. H. F. Arle
first spotted it, .but an attempt to
radio the American fleet was un
successful, so Arle flew his PBM to
the fleet to notify the commander of
the whereabouts of the Jap fleet.
Twenty-four hours later two other
pilots, Lieut. 'S. E. Gordinier and
"Lieut. D. T. Felix spotted the Japs
as they attempted to escape from
the Americans. The Japs mistook
Lieut. Gordinier to be one of their
planes and lighted up the Jap car
rier so he might land. Gordinier,
having no bombs, left the scene as
fas as possible and without damage
to his plane or crew before the Japs
could open fight when they discov
ered the plane was American.
l.a.;i' uuti day planes from Ue
V. S. task force made contact and;
went to work on the Jap fleet and
the PBM's returned to routine pa
trols at Saipan.
