Tom, I took this Picture from the 0-11 Level on the USS Enterprise, CVA-65. In the North Tonkin Gulf. When I stored it in a file as I scanned it From a slide, I couldn't think of the designation of these Planes, The Cob webs are thick today so what is this Heavy Bomber Heading for the Cats? What is the One with the tail No. Of 151631? Is that a Vigilante? What is the designation of a Vigilante?

This is Frank Slaney. He was a good friend and I lost touch with him in 1967. When he was on Kure Island with the Coast Guard, He was a Chief PO and a mechanic I believe. He left Kure and made Warrant Officer and the last time I talked to him was when he called me When I was a Detroit Police officer and Frank was aboard Boat on the Mississippi, Sure would like to talk to him again.
