Many PBYs were manufactured in San Diego, but Reid’s aircraft was built in Canada. “Strawberry 5” was found in dilapidated condition at an airport in South Africa, but was lovingly restored over a period of six years. It was actually flown back to San Diego halfway across the planet – no small task for a 70-year old aircraft with a top speed of 120 miles per hour. The plane had to meet FAA regulations and was inspected by an FAA official before it could fly into US airspace.

After a week of waiting for orders, the young pilots were tasked with delivering five new Corsairs to the island airstrip of Ulithi – a place that measured but a mile long and a half-mile across on the map. After they had delivered the planes, the eager young pilots found a landing craft tied to a pier. They got it started and headed out into the anchorage where about 100 ships were sitting in the lagoon. They had no flight orders and they were eager to get into the war. “All I ever wanted to do was fly,” Stan would say years later of the unorthodox manner in which he and his pals entered the war.
