Re: WWII Clandestine Photo Reconnaissance

Hello Dave, others
I have been watching this thread at a little distance.
I think the details below might be related. BAsically on July 29th 1945, a Lockheed R3O-2 (12-A Electra Junior) BuAer 2947 (c/n 1287) crash landed near Rehins, Ballina County Mayo in Ireland.
On board were the following people according to the Irish Army G2 file in Dublin Military Archives:
"1/Lt Charles C. Dodd (US Navy)
Sgt. Hale (US Navy)
Wing/Comm. TS Cotton
Mr. Janessen (Norweigen Individual)
The names are hand written in the file and thus hard to get the correct names. There is a news paper article which gives certain spellings.
It is also stated that the two passengers Cotton and Janessen were guests of a member of the irish senate for the previous weekend, Senator Quirke. The aircraft was enroute Dublin to Northern Ireland.
Would you in your research have come accross anyone of the Name Janessen opr similar in relation to the W/C Cotton you are reserching. I am only making a guess that this is the same Cotton, the initials in the G2 File certainly do not match I understand.
Theres a bit of back ground on the link below but I've not updated it since viewing the file.
Thanks for you time
