Florida US Navy Crash July 30th/31st 1929
This one I know very little about other than:
Location: Pensacola, Florida
Date quoted: July 30th/31st 1929
The crew were
Ensign Henry Harrsion G'Sell USNavy (later killed at Pensacola, Florida 4th October 1929 in Curtiss F6C-3 A7139) sometimes spelt incorrectly as Gsell and born 24 Jan 1904
and Corp? Sgt Robert A Williams USMC
Can anyone please provide the date and aircraft involved?
