 I am reviewing the crash report for a B-24 than went down in
 California in
1945. The members of the crew of the aircraft are listed in
 the report. Next to their names are their positions/duties
aboard the  aircraft. Next to the names of two of the crew
are the initials "RVO". One of  the men is a 2nd Lieutenant,
the other a Flight Officer. I believe that the "R"  is for
Radar or Radio, and the "O" for Operator.

Does anyone know what 'RVO" stands for?  Thanks, Bill
