Title	Oral history interview with Joseph S. Kulmacz recorded 2004 Nov. 22
Description	Interview conducted by Eileen Hurst. Kulmacz enlisted in the U.S. Navy in early 1943. Before enlisting in the Navy he worked at Pratt and Whitney in East Hartford, CT where he became familiar with working on aircraft. Due to his work experience Kulmacz was placed in the Naval Air Technical Training Center in Tennessee and later attended Aircraft and Mechanic School. He was trained as a flight engineer and was one of a crew of eleven that flew a PBM Martin Mariner seaplane. Kulmacz's squadron was first stationed in Leyte Gulf in the Philippines, where they saw combat, and flew patrol missions from the Philippines to French Indochina (what is now Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos), and then later from Mindoro to French Indochina. Typical patrols were over 12 hours long, and were mainly used for reconnaissance purposes. He returned to the United States in 1945, after V-J Day, and after being discharged, he returned to Pratt and Whitney, where he worked for 44 years as a process planner.
