Pilot Flight Logbook Pages, March 1952 - PBM-5 Mariner Trans-Pacific Flights, Lt. Bancroft
A page from Lt. Wayne E. Bancroft's personal flight logbook, March 1952, documenting a trans-Pacific transit in a Martin PBM-5 Mariner flying boat during the Korean War era. The handwritten entries trace a route from Okinawa through the Philippines, Guam, and Kwajalein to Pearl Harbor and ultimately Alameda, California, illustrating the vast distances covered by naval patrol aviators of the period.
