This texture represents SBD-4/5 White 119 'PUSH PUSH' of VMSB-144,flown by Maj Frank E Hollar, Solomon Islands, november 1943. Based at Munda in the New Georgia group, VMSB-144 supported the landings at Empress Augusta Bay on Bougainville. The aircraft name 'PUSH PUSH' was unusual even by Marine Corps standards, both in respect to its existence and prominent size. Hollar led the squadron from April to late November 1943, after which -144 returned to the USA to be redesignated a torpedo bombing squadron with Avengers.
