"Crashed in early 1944 at the north end of Espiritu Santo in the New Hebrides. The plane went down in the water about 1/4 to 1/2 mile from the northern shoreline. The crew or the plane were never recovered. Any information would be appreciated, I am in touch with his Son John Munger of Fort Collins, Colorado."
