Re: Seagull mistaken for Pete
The SOC shot down on 7 Apr 43 was taken under fire by DD Fletcher. It crashed into the sea. The body of the pilot 2nd Lt J.A. Webber, USMCR, was recovered and buried at sea the following day. Interesting that Frank's review of records fails to disclose this. The incident is not mentioned in published sources concerning this attack. The action reports that mention the incident contain only cryptic descriptions of the incident. Perhaps it was something everyone wanted to forget. It might deserve additional investigation.
