I refer to attached clipping:
https://www.newspapers.com/clip/5236...no-county-sun/
It concerns Capt. George W. Tyson (O-332030), DIVARTY 7th Inf Div, who with Ensign William J. Sayers, USNR, was killed in action over Kwajalein, Marshall Islands, on 1 Feb 1944 (memorial grave stone for latter has 2 Feb 1944).
They were operating from the heavy cruiser USS Minneapolis (CA-36) and likely flew in SOC-3A Seagull with BuNo 1067 of VCS-6, according the USN loss list on aviationarchaeology.com.
I wonder if the practice of having a US Army artillery spotter on USN ships was more of a one-off (like this instance) or did it happen on a more regular basis in the Pacific war area?
All info welcome, thanks.
