This is the sole XPB2Y Bu 0453 when it was used as the Navy Pacific transport 'Blue Goose' (1941-1943?) for VIPs such as Admirals Nimitz and Halsey (but a newer PB2Y took Nimitz to Tokyo Bay for the Japanese Surrender in 1945)

Could this Goose based badge be for the crew of the BLUE GOOSE XPB2Y? www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/50442152107/in/photol... also see www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/12528292944/in/photol...

A30yoyo Badge could be, but no other info came with it, including donor info.....visitor book certainly did come from the Blue Goose

Thanks for the new photo-size....all the crew could be ID 'd from that.....I'm looking into the possibility that the original BLUE GOOSE Bu 0453 was replaced by a newer PB2Y Bu 7215 about 1944 which the typewtitten list in the album supports
