My Father, Harold Lodge (Hal Lee) was a Marine Corps Aerial photographer and still photographer in Asia and China. I have stacks of his photos and memorabilia. I would love to find someone who knew him back then.
I inherited these same original photos when my grandfather Bernard Schilliger passed away just two weeks ago. I also have a great many personal shots that he took and the negatives. I’d love to hear from anyone who may have any info about his squadron and experience.
My father had this metal encased photo album from his father John DeMarra. Pretty crazy to see all the same images. Pretty shots.
I had the album's for years after my stepfather Ray Drew passed I was gonna take them to Quantio when Tom was given the photos he told me he would let me know if anyone had interest in them Glad to see them

Where is the book available? My Dad, Edward Lukes, was a navigator in this unit and contributed photos to the book which he received a copy of. When he passed away the book went to my brother and he lives in a different state. so I would like to get one for my library.
