The article by Richard Johnson on "The Armory Life" explores the history and significance of the Martin PBM Mariner, a versatile twin-engine flying boat used by the U.S. Navy in World War II and the Korean War. Known for its role in anti-submarine patrols and transporting supplies, the PBM Mariner could carry up to twelve 50-caliber machine guns and substantial bomb loads, significantly contributing to naval warfare. Johnson recounts the harrowing experiences of flight engineers like Herbert “Johnny” Johnson and highlights the aircraft's unique capabilities, such as being able to take off and land on water and utilize Jet-Assisted Take-Off (JATO) canisters. The article also notes the PBM's use in Dumbo missions, rescuing stranded pilots, and its deployment by various Allied countries, emphasizing its pivotal contributions to military operations over decades.

ASecond World War-era US Navy submarine has been found almost 80 years after its sinking at the hands of Japanese forces, researchers have announced.

The wreck of the USS Harder, a nearly 100-metre-long sub, was found off the Philippines' northern island of Luzon using data from Tim Taylor, an ocean explorer and founder of the Lost 52 Project, a mission to research the 52 US Navy submarines lost in World War Two.

The Harder had been sunk by a depth charge attack in August 1944 while fighting Japanese ships in Dasol Bay in the Philippines - which claimed the lives of all 79 crewmen on board.

American forces had formally declared the sub lost in January 1945, but now, the US Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) has confirmed the vessel's final resting place.

The NHHC the submarine was "resting at a depth of more than 3,000 feet", adding that it "sits upright on her keel relatively intact except for the depth-charge damage aft of the conning tower".

It praised the Project for its findings, saying: "Submarines by their very design can be a challenge to identify, but the excellent state of preservation of the site and the quality of the data collected by Lost 52 allowed for NHHC to confirm the identity of the wreck as Harder."

Its director, Samuel Cox, said: "Harder was lost in the course of victory, and victory has a price, as does freedom - and we must not forget.

"We are grateful that Tim Taylor and his Lost 52 team have given us the opportunity to once again honor the valor of the crew of 'Hit 'em HARDER', the submarine that sank the most Japanese warships in particularly audacious attacks under her legendary skipper, Commander Sam Dealey."

"MINIATURE SUBMARINES, a Shinto Shrine, chopsticks and Jap characters and wrecked Zeroes were all left behind by the hastily departing enemy on Kiska. American bombs that preceded our troop landings accounted for much of the damage to Jap installations. Sgt. Edmond Birdsell of San Francisco tries out the chopsticks on a bowl of Jap rice, stores of which were found by U.S. forces." - from the Kingston Whig-Standard. September 9, 1943. Page 2.
