SOC Seagull lost July 1942 USS WICHITA

Hi guys

During the early part of Convoy PQ17, the US cruiser WICHITA fomed part of the escort. Apparently she lost one of her Curtiss SOC Seagull observation aircraft and its crew, circa 4 July. Seeking details including identity of crew, please.

On 4 July, two of the Seagulls, complete with depth charges, were engaged by German seaplanes (?). The account I've seen says both returned but possibly one did not (see above).

Cheers
Brian
