Re: MARINE FIGHTING SQUADRON CLAIMS
On 30 November 1942 eleven VMO251 pilots were ordered to Guadalcanal for temporary duty, flying up the next day in an R4D-1.
In the action on 27 December two F4Fs, flown by Spurlock and Weiland of VMO251, were part of the escort which consisted mostly of VMF121 pilots. Capt. Weiland was the flight leader.
