Dear Members,
I am searching for a registration of a Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless who was crashed during a training mission.
The plane came down in Watsonville nearby the Pajaro River in north Monterey County,Ca, workers on a pipeline there discovering the wreckage.
The plane and his crew took off from a naval air base in the Central Valley with other planes of the VB-18 Squadron,but the plane and his crew never returned.
The both men died in the crash their names are Ens Delbert C.Goodspeed,21 and Aviation Radioman Sgt.Robert Henry Paulson,22.
I hope that anyone of you can help me to find this registration.
So I will thank you very much for your help and support.
With sincerely,
Mr.Abe v.d.Bijl,
