Bearing no squadron markings, BuNo 0360 is seen between “owners”.
Another view of 0360.
This aircraft (0335) was lost while on patrol in 1942. Pilot Harold Dixon, bombardier Anthony Pastula, and radioman Gene Aldrich survived 34 days lost at sea in a saga later immortalized in the book “The Raft”. The story was also made into a movie, “Against the Sun” (2014)).
Seen in the markings of Torpedo Six, this aircraft (0324) was transferred to Torpedo Eight where it met its end during the Battle of Midway.
Unknown TBD of VT-3.
Torpedo Two of USS Lexington. I believe this is BuNo 0298. Aircraft was lost in the Marshall Islands in 1942.
