SOC Seagulls

[Leendert]

Brian,

To finish off: Ensign McGeorge was safe. He flew a OS2N-1 Kingfisher with BuNo 01492.

On books.google you can look up the book "Slingshot Warbirds" (author William Neufeld) about Ringbolt's operations. It gives circumstances of the losses and equally important names of the crews.

Lt Brackett with ARM 1/c John L. Headington (safe)
Lt Hague with ARM 2/c Gilbert Kyle
Lt Reichel with Seaman 2/c Harold Adams (both KIA)

It is with the latter on p. 78 and p. 79 that a possible confusion with a Japanese floatplane is duscussed.

Regards,
Leendert
