Re: LtCdr James Crossman POW
According to Ray Sturtivant's FAA Aircraft book, Crossman was shot down by AA while attacking Matsushima A/F, near Sendai, on 9 August 1945.
He came down just offshore and was picked up by an IJN patrol craft. When Indefatigable was at Yokosuka in early September, after the surrender, Crossman returned aboard from his prison camp.
