Seth P. Washburne writes:

I am the historian for the U.S. Army Air Corps 13th Troop Carrier Squadron, nicknamed “The Thirsty 13th,” which from November 1944 until August 1945 was based at Mokmer Aerodrome on Biak.

Today I received scans of photos from the collection of a radio operator named Carl Asberry Cook, Jr. They included the attached photo of WVTG, I expect at Biak, which I want to share with you. His daughter Carla gave me permission to share it with you.

Radio Heritage Foundation projects and activities connect radio, popular culture, history and heritage.

The charitable trust has been giving a voice to those involved in radio via our website since 2004 and will continue to do so.

We are inclusive of all visitors, regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, or disability and aim to connect people of all ages and cultures who love radio

We welcome a sense of wonder from the joy of listening via radio, and from memories retold for the enjoyment of all generations.

We prefer to use environmentally sustainable goods and services where we can afford to, and we provide free community access worldwide to our collections, published research, preservation and promotion activities in a completely paper-free environment.
