The pilot was my father's older brother who died on Dec 7 '41; their family was split at the time between USA and Switzerland, and it was a long time before they found out about his crash.
I would love to hear from you about this crash. I am researching ATA losses for a proposed book.
My email address is jimDOTcorbettATaciaDOTcoDOTuk
Replace the DOT with . and AT with @
Many thanks,
