In addition, the Kahuku station reported getting fragmentary messages from ships at sea.
1947: The Advertiser reports that the first jet airplane to be based in the Islands will arrive shortly aboard the aircraft carrier Valley Forge. The Navy's FR-1 was being brought here to familiarize Pacific fleet pilots with jet aircraft.
