Famous WW2 Quote
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You win the war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!"George Patton, 31 May 1944

This photo was taken from the Ford Island water tower which was removed later in 1942.
The two-engine transport in the lower left is a Douglas R3D, the Navy version of the DC-5 & the USAAF C-110. This is a very rare bird. Only 12 were built and only 7 were operated by the Navy. This aircraft came to Hawaii for use by US Marine paratroopers but it was procured by "Commander, Air, Battle Force, US Fleet" and based at Ford Island.
