Plane No. 6 in the foreground (BuNo 2045) was flown on 4 June 1942 by 2nd Lt James H. Marmande with PFC Edby Colvin as gunner. This plane disappeared about 16 km (10 mi) from Midway on the return flight. The plane in the backgound is No. 9, flown by Capt. Leon M. Williamson (pilot), PFC Duane L. Rhodes (gunner). The plane returned to Midway.
