Lt John Dismas Frank took off from the USS Kasaan Bay as part of VF-74 Hellcat squadron’s bombing mission during Operation Anvil Dragoon in his Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat 58241. Due to poor visibility he and Lt Johnson got separated from their flight and subsequently shot down while strafing a Panzer column at 1840. As he was flying so low to the ground there was no time to open a parachute. His body was buried in the local town before being sent back to the US in 1946.
