Re: SOC Seagull lost July 1942 USS WICHITA

Ancestry.com have the muster rolls for USS Wichita and one document whcih is a nominall roll for the quarter ended 30 September 1942 records NO DEATHS from the aviation unit, and only five transfers of personel.

Unit is listed as VCS-7, aviation unit.

Also noting that I cannot see a 'Douglas Fairbanks' on the Wichita rosters, but if he was only an observer, might not show up.

That name appears no where in the 1942 rosters on any ship.

Closest I can see was a Douglas C Fahrenback at the end of August 1942, rank EM3c, Electrician's Mate, 3d Cl
