On the June 9th raid, the Dixie carried General W.F. Marquat. The crew consisted of :
2nd Lt. R.R. Hatch
2nd Lt. C.A. Soffern
2nd Lt. G.D. Barnhill
1st Lt. N.A. Wright
Corp. R.I. Slater
Corp. Rorbinson
Corp. J.F. Shemberger.
I do not know why thy were carrying the general. Perhaps as an observer or perhaps they were transporting him.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
