Son Of Paul
Crash Site of Lt. Comstock and Crew #3
Lt. Comstock's plane (squadron VPB-119, crew #3) crashed while attempting to show the Crew 12 survivors which direction to travel in order for them to find their rescue plane; all 13 on board were killed.
According to crew 12 survivors, it appeared that the plane failed to maintain proper air speed and began to stall; they could hear the crew 3 plane engines throttling up but they snagged a tree before they could gain altitude. The plane immediately went into the ground and caught fire.
