Jerry,
Check out website "http://perso.orange.fr/Patrick.ertel/id8.htm" that has lots of info about Operation Dragoon, including the Hellcat losses you're looking for (and more....). Regards, Leendert Brugge/Belgium |

In case you don't know the website:
http://www.aviationarchaeology.com/src/USN/losslist.htm This site will list USN losses outside the States, with the name and fate of the pilot and the serial and type of the AC. Unit is also given. On the other hand, the "loss location" is often wrong and is more a reference to the general campaign rather than the loss area |
