Re: Seagull mistaken for Pete
Brian,
The USN loss list shows OS2N-1 (a Naval Aircraft Factory built OS2U-3 Kingfisher) of VS-64 as lost on April 15, 1943, pilot Ens. McGeorge, who survived. It is classed as a combat mission; operational aircraft accident; Crash, due to Pilot Failure.
The loss list does not show an SOC on April 7, 1943; there was an SO3C-1 lost at Pearl Harbor in an accident, cause unknown. If there was such an incident, the aircraft was not destroyed, or listed under another date. The next SOC-1 listed as lost was on April 14.
Frank.
