USN VP-202 Leeman's Demons, NAS North Island, CA, 1943
VP-202, one of the first Mariner squadrons to see combat duty, gave the PBM a lengthy workout and found the aircraft to perform well time and again. Island-hopping throughout the Pacific, VP-202 (later VPB-202) flew PBM-3s on agonizing pie-shaped patrols which often lasted over 12 hours. Skippered by Commander Leeman, it was not long before VP-202 became known as "Leeman's Demons" in some circles. The Demons were pioneers in PBM overwater patrols of great length.
