L-4 Grasshoppers USS Ranger 9 Nov 1942
On 9 Nov 1942 three L-4 Grasshoppers attached to 3rd Inf Div Artillery took off from the aircraft carrier USS Ranger off the Moroccan coast to participate in Operation Torch.
All three L-4s were fired upon by Allied forces on sea and land (no advance notice was given about their presence...) and they had to make crash landings some way or another. Who has the serials of these Grasshoppers? Two of them reportedly were 42-15204 (Capt Ford Allcorn) and 42-36389 (Lt William Butler), but I'm still looking for the one of Lt John Shell. Info welcome, thanks. Regards, Leendert
