Mission History
Took off on a mission to attack shipping in Wewak Harbor. Near the target, this bomber was attacked by two Japanese fighters, 15 miles south-east of Wewak, 10 miles out to sea.

At the time, Lt. Barber was flying in the wing position for Lt. Grover, and was pulling into formation at a low altitude. The airplane was seen to hit the water with its right wing, which caused the aircraft to cartwheel and sink.
