I am the daughter of LtCol Ted Boutwell USMC, retired who will be 91 this fall. He was attached to VMB-612 during WWII. He is very closed mouth about his work as a Marine. I did attend a reunion August of 1989 held at Morehead City, NC. There was another Marine that served with my Dad during that time who tried to give him a war memorbilia but he refused to take it. I would love to hear from you and hear your stories as my Dad does not give out more than rank and serial number! Please anyone who has some history with my Dad, the good, the bad, and the ugly, contact me. We are family.

Sam Balthrop was my brother. My twin and I were twelve when his plane went down in the Pacific. A school friend was the paper boy who ran to our front door calling my Mother's name showing her the picture of Sam with the headlines "Marine Flyer Down in the Pacific" Mother almost collapsed with fright. Sam was a good swimmer and tried three times to save his co-pilot. Blood in his eyes were blinding him. He was sent to an island to recover and after rejoining the Marines in the Pacific he was killed April 20, 1945, just five months later.

I am not a computer person, so my daughter is typing this for me. This is the first time I've really spent any time looking at the website and it is great fun! Love the music, and what fun to see the name Scuttlebutt in so many of the log book entries. All of the members mean a lot to me.

When I was growing up in Palmyra, NJ, our good neighbor and friend was Mr. Bert Gill. I remember my Father, a Sgt with the 5thMARDIV (Iwo Jima), and Mr. Gill would trade barbs about the difference between an airdale Marine (?) and a ground Marine. Needless to say, respect was mutual on their WWII duties. Amazing they both served on Iwo Jima and ended up two houses from each other after the war. Both are pushing their late eighties, but still hanging in there. I sent this webpage to Mr. Gill...I hope he pulls it up. Both live in Burlington County, NJ. Semper Fi

Excellent website. The information and history is outstanding. As an Aviation Marine for 30 years, I appreciate the service of all who served in squadrons during WW2. I was able to serve an fly on some of the last reciprocating engine aircraft in the Marine Corps, T28s, S2Fs, C117s and H34s. An era to be proud of! Semper Fi - JJ Gooch 1968-1998

My paternal grandfather, William D. Viets flew with the 612 as a navigator-bombadier. I have a note from my grandmother that remembers the gunner on his plane was "a kid from Baltimore - one Fred Pacitti." I would be very grateful for any info anyone has on this group. Especially if anyone knows what plane my grandfather flew on or the names of any other crew members. He never talked about it and had now passed on. Thank You!!!

A friend in the Maine Army National Guard pointed me to this wonderful site, since I was interested in finding out more information about my Uncle Anthony A. ("Tony") Nedik. He was a Marine Staff Sergeant and served as a tail gunner. His plane was shot down over the Pacific during WWII and nothing was ever recovered. If there is anyone who might have known him or who knows more information, I would like to be in touch with you. Thank you!
