Re: SB2C aerial victories - Pilot names?
For Lewis, only 0.166/0/0.166 of his claims are on the Helldiver; the additional claims were while flying the Hellcat, although still with VB-14.
Elway's two victories are both on the Hellcat.
Same with Mor.
Duncan has one victory on the Helldiver; his gunner was Elias, who has 1.5.
Glumac has one; gunner unstated.
Fisher has one; his gunner was Hendrick with 0.5 shared with Elias.
Niemeyer has one; gunner unstated.
Harris has one in 1943; gunner unstated; plus he has 4 more on the F4U-1d with VBF-83 in 1945.
Wallace has 2, pilot unknown, in 1943.
Serensis has one; pilot unknown.
Puryear has one, pilot unknown, plus 2 shared damaged.
The 1943 claims are during a raid on Rabaul; all the other claims are in 1944, mostly in the Philippines.
The only land-based operator of the Helldiver was the French Navy in the 1950s in French Indo China, and it encountered no enemy aircraft.
Enjoy!
Frank.
