US Navy crash near Pensacola on 12 January 1942
Hello,
A long shot, but I would like to identify aircraf and unit of a crash that occured near Pensacola on 12 January 1942. Both crew, Ens Russel Vroom Adams Jr (pilot) and Aviation Cadet Francis Allen Rafferty, were killed. Details of crash as reported in US newspapers: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/3611...-news-journal/ I found nothing on fold3 or www.aviationarchaeology.com about this accident, neither in the book "Aircraft Accidents in Florida". Both links below confirm Rafferty's death on 12 January 1942: https://www.fold3.com/image/321205083 https://fr.findagrave.com/memorial/3...allen-rafferty On the other hand, I have been unable to find anything for Russel Vroom Adams, so the name may be wrong.
