Re: U-576 and VC-9

Reports on this action without giving the unit of the aircraft:

http://www.fold3.com/image/267918403/ (plane identified as OS2U3 from Cherry Point)

The war history of Cherry Point Base has apparently nothing on 15 July 1942 (I have not read all, it is not in chronogical order), but in August 1942, VS-9 left the base:

By the way, on the webpage http://www.uboat.net/boats/u576.htm, the general sumamry says VC-9, but the note says VS-9 and gave the pilots' names.

So VS-9 (no history online on fold3 for this month and this unit).
