Re: USS Santee : aimen in November 1942

Just a couple of points on the VGS29 aircraft:

Schein's aircraft cannot have been 06442, as this was a TBF. I haven't been able to ascertain the correct BuNo, but the aircraft suffered only minor damage.

Tower's aircraft was not 06555 as this crashed on take-off, 25 October, while flown by Ens. Ballentine. I think that Tower may have been in 06635, which was a November 1942 VGS29 loss for which no other details are available.

Regards
