SC-1 Seahawk - BuNo 35518 - lost 2 Aug 1945 - pilot's name
On 2 Aug 1945 SC-1 Seahawk BuNo 35518 operating from the USS Boston (CL-69) off Kyushu, Japan, was lost during recovery. Plane sank rapidly, no trace of pilot was found after search by escorting destroyer USS Norman Scott (DD-690).

Pilot's name not mentioned in CL-69 war diary, but was he Lt (jg) Newton D. Craymer?

Thanks for info.

Regards,
Leendert
