Nice article with a one sentence mention of USN PBY reconnaissance
support. Actually VP-16 (re-designated VP-41) had been flying the Alaskan Pacific since 1938, and by mid-1941 three Navy Aviation bases were there; Sitka, Kodiak and Dutch Harbor - P2Y-2 and PBY-3. My uncle Ed Froelich, then ACCM, now retired CDR in Pensacola, flew with Lt. Paul Ramsey, later CINCPAC, when they flew out of a cloud and found the Japanese.
