I am interested in doing a painting of a SOC Seagull recovering to a US Ship on 8 or 9 Aug during TORCH. I have your B&W photos of planes from the Tuscaloosa and Augusta, as well as photos from ship not at TORCH such as the Long Is, Portland, and Nevada. Some of the questions have are;
Where there any significant events associated with a SOC during TORCH; What were the relative winds on those two days; fleet photos show fair to nice weather with high cirrus - was their fog either morning and would heave SOC flown in it; did SOC usually recover on the side of the ship away from hostile shores, if the wind permitted; were there SOC operations off of the Massachusetts, New York, or Texas, as well as the flights from the Augusta and Tuscaloosa. Any info would be appreciated. Barry Taylor, BeetsNCat@tampabay.rr.com
