Re: Vought OS2U floatplane shot down june 25 1944
George. from my notes 16? Navy pilots were collected in May from Quincy, Tuscaloosa, Augusta, Nevada, Texas and Arkansas, their SOCs and SO2Us flown ashore to Ipswich in temporary storage; the Sqn., VCS-7 to Lee-on-Solent ( 3rd Naval Wing) with Spitfires, commander Lt. Cdr. W. Denton Jr. from Quincy. They flew between D-Day and June 26 when Cherbourg was captured and they returned to Navy control. The 16 pilots flew a total of 191 sorties.
Regards Nick

Re: Vought OS2U floatplane shot down june 25 1944
The question may have come from the USS Tuscaloosa War Diary for 25 June 1944, the naval bombardment of Cherbourg. See entry at 1145 here: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/78619977?objectPage=34
More details about a/the spotter plane in trouble here: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/78515139?objectPage=14 . Item (g). Regards, Leendert
