First, to clarify my previous post Fukushige was shot down by another Hornet F4F flight.

Yamada was the victim of Sutherland's flight. Sutherland's wingman was Lt (j.g.) Henry Carey. His number 3 and 4 men were Lts (j.g.) David Freeman and A. Dietrich. Sutherland made the first sighting. Carey may have made the decisive hits but all participated.
