PBJ Presentation Aug 6, 2022

Thank you all who came out to learn about our bomber and support the Commemorative Air Force!

 

PBJ Mitchell Presentation August 6,
2022

The Tree Top Terror! That’s what Japanese ground forces called Marine
Corps PBJ and Army Air Force B-25 medium bombers as they rampaged at
very low altitudes across the Southwest Pacific from 1943 onward. Given
the leeway by accommodating leadership to test and evaluate different
tactics and armament configurations in the field, that’s just what they
did. Come experience living history as CAF SoCal conducts a presentation
on the varying tactics and armament used by PBJ units as they constantly
adjusted to operational needs and enemy counter-tactics. We’ll also open
our magnificent PBJ-1J, which took 23 years to restore to flying condition,
so you can tour the inside of the aircraft.

Gone West – Steve Barber

There are many, many volunteers that contribute to the Commemorative Air Force, and many of those are members of, and work hard to enrich the Southern California Air Wing here in Camarillo.  Few, however, can match the dedication, time involved, and effort in building a strong foundation of volunteers, aircraft, and facilities.   It is very safe to state that the CAFSOCAL would not be what it is today without Steve Barber.  

As a dedication to his memory, we are posting his memorial video here for the public to enjoy, as many of us have enjoyed remembering Steve.  Please feel free to email membership@cafsocal.com with any additional stories, photos, or videos of Steve that other friends and family of Steve would like to see. 

Thank you Steve for all that you have done for our organization and wing – you will be dearly.
