CHICAGO TRIBUNE    On November 3, 1998, I received an e-mail from Mrs. Judy Hively (formerly Judy Clark) inquiring about the crash of a WV-2 out of Barber's Point, Hawaii (then, the territory of Hawaii [T.H.]) on December 23, 1957. The aircraft was attached to VW-14 and was on a training flight.

    Aboard the aircraft was a crew of 23 Navy airmen including her brother Robert O. Clark.  Clark was cited for extreme bravory by his action in saving a fellow crew member and in the process, sustaining injuries that cost him his life.  This commendation can be read in this web site.

    This page, conserning the crash of WV-2 (BUNO 143197) 25 miles off of Kahuku Point, Oahu, on December 23, 1957,  is dedicated to those who lost their lives that day while serving their country.
