Florida US Navy Crash July 30th/31st 1929

This one I know very little about other than:

Location: Pensacola, Florida

Date quoted: July 30th/31st 1929

The crew were

Ensign Henry Harrsion G'Sell USNavy (later killed at Pensacola, Florida 4th October 1929 in Curtiss F6C-3 A7139) sometimes spelt incorrectly as Gsell and born 24 Jan 1904

and Corp? Sgt Robert A Williams USMC

Can anyone please provide the date and aircraft involved?

This is the report on G'Sell death..
"October 5, 1929
