His plane had been hit by a shell from the cannon of a Japanese “Zero.” His radioman was also wounded and a photographer killed during the action. Though the date of the photograph states November 5, 1943, one must assume the photograph was done later and not on the date of this action. (7/14/2015). 80-G-205341: Commander Henry H.
