Re: Vought OS2U floatplane shot down june 25 1944

War Diary mention spotting plane hit by flak at 1302

https://catalog.archives.gov/id/78619977?objectPage=36

1302 - SPOTTING PLANE REPORTED HIT BY FLAK; RETURNING TO BASE.

I'm interpreting that as an aircraft not based off the warship itself, but perhaps a shore based spotter? They were using Spitfires for spotting at the time?

VCS-7 They stood down from their mission on Jun 26th it seems.
