1965 Officer Photo-Early ’65
This photo of HMM-265 squadron officers was taken in early 1965 (best guess) on the flight line at New River. Let’s try to figure out who these guys are. There are four rows: one row of three heavies in front plus three rows of nine worker bees for a total of 30 faces. The table below is laid out the same way, with a numbering system to facilitate discussion. A few names have been dredged up from the webmaster’s hazy recollections, but they certainly are open to challenge. We invite all members to help fill in the missing names via the comment space below (must be logged in).
