The Last Air Battle of World War II: a Veteran Remembers. Bill Watkinson, a WWII veteran naval aviator who flew fighter aircraft from the carrier USS Yorktown, will speak about the very last missions flown over Japan during July and August 1945. Watkinson lives in Flemington, NJ, but still spends time in South Carolina serving as a docent aboard the USS Yorktown museum. Anyone interested in World War II aviation in the Pacific will find him fascinating. There will be photographs and a brief video. Mount Tabor author David Sears says, “I’ll have copies of a magazine article I recently wrote about Bill and his squadron titled ‘The Last Waltz’. August/September marks the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. There are fewer and fewer chances now to hear directly from those who participated”. There will be a magazine and book signing after the program, proceeds of which will go to the co-sponsors of the program, the Mount Tabor Historical Society and the Mount Tabor Branch of the Parsippany Public Library System.
