Actual for You - 345th Bomb Group, 5th Air Force, Air Apaches, Gone, But Not Forgotten
Given the importance organizations place on generating press coverage, it’s vital to have a strategy and skilled professionals assigned to critical tasks. Preparing individuals charged with speaking to reporters is central to this effort, for five reasons.1. Media interview training helps individuals cultivate the skills to engage in more productive give and take with reporters. Being interviewed by a reporter isn’t simply a matter of answering questions in rote fashion, while adopting a defensive posture. It’s incumbent on spokespeople to take the initiative in telling the organization’s story, from its perspective. To this end, spokespeople need to be familiar with how reporters w
In the field of cartography, there are few jobs that are as uniquely suited to a graduate's skills as the graduate surveyor. Surveyors are familiar figures in a variety of fields, mapping out residential and commercial lots for construction companies or determining the best land area for an urban planning firm. Graduate surveyors have a combination of skills that make their presence invaluable in the United Kingdom. Few people outside of cartography or engineering know how to make an accurate map, assess soil samples, or determine the structural issues of building on a certain type of land. Graduate surveyors in the United Kingdom can find work in a variety of fields.Graduate surveyors
Whenever someone would ask my father what he did during the war, he would tell them. But he never seemed to dwell on it. What he did was an important part of his life, but it was only one portion. I did not begin to appreciate his combat record until I arrived in the Philippine Islands in 1978 onboard the Navy aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. During one port visit, I managed to visit my brother who was stationed at Clark Air Force Base which was a very short drive from my port of call, Subic Bay. My brother was a fighter pilot flying the F-4 Phantom fighter jet for the USAF.
My brother and I spoke about what it must have been like for our Dad during the war. All of his combat missions were flown from the Philippine Islands. I didn’t know it at the time, but he flew out of an air field near Subic Bay. He completed his combat tour by flying 48 combat missions. He flew combat missions as a B-25 radio / gunner against Japanese targets in the Philippines, Formosa and also French Indochina.
To date, I have only been able to locate two books that accurately describe in sharp detail what the 345th Bomb Group did in the South Pacific. One book was written by one of their combat pilots, Peppy Blount. My wife was able to find this book on eBay and it was my favorite Christmas gift. I tried to locate the book, "We Band of Brothers", but without success, but she was able to find it and I have since loaned it to my Dad. The other book was written by Lawrence J Hickey, “Warpath across the Pacific”. Mr. Hickey spent many years of detailed research and the book is truly
How often is the Sales team on one side of an organization while Service is on the other?How often does this ‘divide’ lead to the loss of possible sales, more tension between the groups, and negative service experiences and perceptions for the customer?At one high-end European car dealer, the physical separation between Sales and Service was so thick, they called it the Berlin Wall.It doesn’t need to be this way!In a bold effort to bring these groups together, the car dealer tore down the physical wall separating Service from Sales.The sales staff were concerned. They were afraid new business prospects might be turned off by what they saw in the Service Depar

I met one of my Dad’s combat buddies who served with him. The thing that astonished me is how modest my Dad was on what he experienced. Their B-25 bombers flew low level strafing and skip bombing runs using the B-25 twin engine medium bomber. The aircraft had their bombardier compartment removed in the nose and it was replaced by fixed .50 caliber machine guns. All of their missions were flown at extreme low altitude. My Dad’s job was assigned as a B-25 radio operator / gunner. The bombs had delayed fuses in order to prevent damage to their aircraft. Some aircraft would return with dents from bombs that bounced back hitting the underbody of the airplane. One version had a total of eighteen .50 caliber machine guns. Eight in the nose, two on the left side of the cockpit, two on the right side of the cockpit, two on the top turret gunner, one on the left waist gun, one on the right waist gun and two at the tail gunner position. In addition, they could carry four 500lb bombs internally.
By getting down at tree top level, they were deadly accurate, but they paid a heavy price in crews. My Dad was grounded for one mission and his crew was shot down near Clark Air Force Base. His crew survived the crash, but they were unable to escape due to their injuries. The only crewmember to return alive was the man who replaced him for the mission. The rest were murdered by Japanese troops who killed them on the spot. After Dad completed his combat missions, he returned to the USA. The last crew he flew with were shot down and killed a short time later.
I have often wondered why the 345th Bomb Group had so little press coverage after the war. It was a
