USS Natoma Bay CVE62 Page 1 Photographer's Diary Index [Editor's Note: This index lists the diary entry date on which particular topics were mentioned in the Photographer's Diary. You will need to use it with the THREE parts of the Diary itself (available as separate documents downloadable from http://natomabaycve62.org/logbook/lbdownloads.html): Part 1 (14 October 1943-18 May 1944), Part 2 (18 May 1944 - December 30 1944), Part 3 (1 January 1945-15 August 1945). I believe this index was created by Glenn McWilliams when he transcribed the diaries.
