Jack Osburn's WWII Photos

All text in "quotes"; is what Jack wrote. Jack served on the U.S. Coast Guard ship Bonham in the Gulf of Alaska including the Aleutian Islands.
The Bonham served as an "early warning system"; in the hopes they could get off an radio message before being sunk by the Japanese. The Bonham was mistaken for a Japanese ship and barely missed a bombing by a PBY Plane.
