TF Blue Goose

Never heard of a "Task Force Blue Goose," but there was a PBY named Blue Goose used for a daylight torpedo raid during the fight for Guadalcanal. The was a much better writeup on the Air University page, but that apparently got put behind a .mil firewall. I can post a copy here, but I ain't sure that's what you're asking about.

Edit: Found a better source here.

I was attached to TF BG for quite a while. We were under TF BRINDLE (it was a combined op). Cant say what I did or who I worked with or where. Except that I did and with some people and in SE Asia.

and your call sign was "Mother Goose", right? Oh, Hell did that break OPSEC, or was that just a fairy tale?
