Re: Extraction of the "Camel" stay behind team?
Maury,
Raised a question: Although you were there at the time, do you know who
was involved in Camel stay-behind mission extraction? The boats involved
were the 50-foot N-501 and N-502. Also understand there was a "mother
boat" somewhere off shore. Would appreciate
learning anything you might have heard about this mission.
