Your right he was not killed, but according to the orginal US Navy Aircraft Accident Card it had him listed as missing in 26 Jan 1945, the accident card did not have a followup, however I did check "The Roster of WWII Dead (all services)" and his name did not show there. You might ask him what happened on the day..the card has his name as William Arthur Quinn, Ens, AV-N USNR. SIGNED: Terry pb4y-2@sbcglobal.net..." [26DEC2002]

UPDATE "...Uur plane is listed as Tsingtao crash on 21 Dec 45. It's my recollection that crash occurred on the 23rd but I wouldn't argue the point. I've been unable to locate any of the former crew. Officers were Gabler, Winsco and Wallace. Crewman were Pesky, Jones, Smith, Gunthorp, Dial, Moreland, Sanford, Pope, etc. I don't think any of these people are members of M/M association. After the crash our crew was split up and some members were assigned to other crews and some were sent to the states. I would like to contact former crew members and exchange old war stories, etc..."
