The Crews

Welcome to the VPB-119 Artifacts Library, a growing repository of historical information and artifacts about the brave men who served in this naval unit during World War II. Our aim with Phase 1 of this project has been to establish a baseline of each crew, including a photo and war status, with plans to expand upon these descriptions as we uncover more highlights from their service. We invite descendants and interested parties to contribute photos and documentation to our collection, and to help us tell the untold stories of these courageous crew members. As our knowledge base grows, we plan to create special exhibits and incentivize students of all ages to use our database to conduct research and further our understanding of VPB-119. Join us on this journey of discovery and remembrance as we pay tribute to the heroes of VPB-119.
