My Father was aboard the "Lex" During "WW II" He served with AIR GROUP 19 His Name was Dwight C. Catron He flew in the "TBM"s as a gunner, torpedomen PO 2nd class Ordencemen. He recived the "DFC" along with other medals.

I do know he was in the battle of Layte, and the luyngan gulf. If you could give me any nfo on his Squadron Or refure me to any sites that would help me in compiling a history of my dads war years,

I'd be grateful.
