Larry,
Just came across your question regarding Rey Island. The book 'Wings over the Canal' by Dan Hagedorn makes the following comment in Appendix D on page 186.
"APO 825-B: Rey Island Auxiliary Aerodrome, Panama. A very little known auxiliary. 'E' Flight of the 24th Fighter Squadron was stationed there c. 31 Oct 1943. It was also used in connection with the chemical weapons storage facility and testing done on the island during the war."
This is a well written book with considerable information about Air Corps activity in this area during the war. Do not know what else it contains regarding Rey Island, if I find more I will post it. ISBN 1-56311-153-5.
