AIR DEPARTME HSL-36, detachment 7, proved themselves as able members of the Sub-Buster team. The mechanics and technicians Worked many long hours to keep the Bird in the air. The flight crews had many different missions to do. They provided tracking of assigned submarines, information on surface contacts, personnel transport and an occasional photograph. Their presence also helped crew morale with their mail runs. They were pro- fessionals and quickly became true shipmates. Our Airdales had a can-do attitude and contributed to ELMER MONTGOMERY'S reputation as a top oper- ational asset to the Sixth Fleet. DETACH ME - .'
