Hello to ALL
My father was killed in the subject crash Jul 23, 1945 (only one survivor) 10 weeks after I was born on VE Day May 8, 1945. He is interred in Punchbowl Crater. Have never been to Hawaii, but am planning trip perhaps 2007 or 2008.
I have obtained the crash report and photos from AAIR Aviation Archaeological Investigation & Research AND Hawaii Aviation Preservation Society is further investigating for me. Has anyone any info on Niihau Isl other than it is privately owned and access is limited? I know there is a helicopter service for Island flights and have contacted them also. Is this all I can do?
As I mentioned above, my goal is to travel to HI and specifically Niihau Island.
