Re: Who got Saburo Sakai?

As noted in Bombing Six's "Report of Action" submitted for 7 August 1942, Flight 319 launched from USS Enterprise at 1217 and landed 1517 hours, and included Lt. C. H. Horenburger and AMM2c H. H. Caruthers flying in 5-S-12. According to Sakaida, Saburo Sakai was wounded during his and his wingman's attack against this flight. Further in the Report, it states that Flight 330 launched at 1559 and landed 1906 hours, and included Lt. Horenburger and AMM2c Caruthers again, this time in 6-B-13. Despite the apparent use of VS-5 aircraft during their encounter with Sakai, it would appear that, based on their inclusion in the Bombing Six report, both men were assigned to VB-6.
