Was that the Burfish mission? Was there a pictures, drop-off and recover, or just the drop-off and pictures? There were more than two missions to Palau for recon work for pre-invasion look-sees... The Burfish mission is the more complex version, with the insertion and attempted pick-up of the UDT fellows off Yap, that only a portion show-up for recovery. The landings on that island were cancelled because of the fears of the 3 swimmers of the team having been captured and tortured...

A link with several other links of the story:

They are still looking for them:

I think I put a pdf of the story in the Research folder - maybe... If not, I do have that somewhere on this computer... dig dig dig...

As for DED traffic, what was the date? The "seams" between mis files from like 43a to 44a should not happen as badly as in stock, but there is still a bit of that... I'll take another look-see at those, and maybe put the "tweeners" back in that we built back in the day...
