June 3, 1929 Death of Ensign Henry Purviance Gow Jr
On June 3, 1929 Ensign Henry Purviance Gow Jr from "Seattle" (but actually Born 1906 in Iowa) was killed but his mechanic, seaman Harold George Neumann (January 13, 1909 to November 02, 1965), escaped death by jumping with a parachute, when a navy plane from North Island crashed near Nestor, California.
It was reported said the plane crashed as a result of a broken wing. Gow was previously with VO—3B, USS Pennsylvania but she was being modernised at the time Can anyone please identify the aircraft involved and provide the correct rank for Neumann ? Many Thanks Paul
