This page from Lt. Bancroft's personal flight logbook documents his September 1951 patrol missions flying the PBM-5 Mariner flying boat along the Formosa (Taiwan) Strait — a tense front in the early Korean War era, as the U.S. Navy maintained a neutrality patrol between Nationalist Taiwan and Communist China. The handwritten remarks, from routine patrols to a typhoon evacuation flight, offer a rare firsthand record of naval patrol aviation duty far from the Korean peninsula's headline battles.
