The Patrol Squadron Two Association has declared its intention to sponsor this renowned aircraft for its continued maintenance and upkeep in perpetuity.
In 1946, at the beginnings of the Cold War and the Jet Age, this aircraft demonstrated for the world that a US Naval Aircraft had the ability to carry a substantial payload over a great distance by traversing the Pacific Ocean and two continents in a non-stop non-refueled flight of more than 11000 miles.
By the way - How did the Turtle become to be known as the Truculent Turtle? The best explanation is that a reporter in Columbus OH, where the Turtle landed after its historic flight, probably added the modifier and other reporters picked it up. And the name stuck.
