Oral History Interview with Bud Rohling, May 18, 2006
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Bud Rohling. Rohling recalls volunteering for the service shortly after Pearl Harbor was attacked. He was called up in March, 1942 and went into flight training. After training, he was assigned to the 3rd Photo Reconnaissance Squadron. Rohling's first job was to fly over the coast of northern Canada and Alaska and take photographs. He mentions also flying over the coast of Russia and taking a few photographs there as well. From there, he was assigned to Gush Kara, India. Rohling's unit ferried fuel to China and they flew photo recon missions along the coast. They did that for seven months and then went back to McDill Air Force Base, Florida. Once he returned, Rohling was assigned to B-29 bombers. His next assignment was on Saipan where he ran photo recon missions over the home islands of Japan. Rohling describes participating in some fire bombing missions over Japan. Rohling recalls photographing the atomic attack on Nagasaki. When the war ended, Rohling had enough points to rotate home, but instead made a request to join General Curtis LeMay's headquartes staff and hopefully stay in the Marianas. He ended up in Tokyo making more reconnaissance flights before being transferred to the Philippines. At Manila, he separated from the service and started up a small airline compnay in the Philippines.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
