This will take some time - - - - These are correct.
1942 Fri. May 1st - - United States Naval Base and United States Naval Auxiliary Air Facility, Great Exuma, Bahama Islands, and United States Naval Base, Grand Cayman, British West Indies, are established.
1942 July 4th - - six American crews from the 15th Bombardment Group (Light) together with six RAF crews were dispatched from RAF Swanton Morley, Norfolk, on a daylight sweep against four German airfields in the Netherlands.
