The information on this page points to various spots of interest to
VPB 208 and people interested in the PBM.

This is a link to the PBM at the Pima Air Museum in Tucson Arizona.  This is
a photo downloaded from the page showing the aircraft and it's surroundings.
This is a link to the Pima Air Museum's PBM information.  also here.  You
will note that in the aerial photo, the aircraft appears not to be restored, since
it appears to be white, or silver, not the current black finish of the restoration.

This is a link to the Bu Number database for the Pima Aircraft.

These are the ICBM coordinates N 32.138175  W 110.86938.

I wish to have links to known locations of bases for any VPB 208, or other
squadron's bases, if possible.

Map source notes:

Virtual Earth
will not zoom past province scale for Cuba.  La Fe shown, but detail
lacking.

Google Earth (note, link leads to download page, this is a downloadable program)
best bet, using ICBM coordinates.  La Fe visible with reduced
resolution imagery, and cloud cover

mapper.acme.com  (uses terraserver)
no imagery for Cuba on Topo, or terraserver monochrome

Google maps
no cuba imagery
