George. from my notes 16? Navy pilots were collected in May from Quincy, Tuscaloosa, Augusta, Nevada, Texas and Arkansas, their SOCs and SO2Us flown ashore to Ipswich in temporary storage; the Sqn., VCS-7 to Lee-on-Solent ( 3rd Naval Wing) with Spitfires, commander Lt. Cdr. W. Denton Jr. from Quincy. They flew between D-Day and June 26 when Cherbourg was captured and they returned to Navy control. The 16 pilots flew a total of 191 sorties.
