I would like to contact the individual that posted this comment in the article about Joe Kennedy Jr.'s death in WWII:

... the Baby just exploded in mid-air as we neared it and I was knocked halfway back to the cockpit. A few pieces of the Baby came through the plexiglass nose and I got hit in the head and caught a lot of fragments in my right arm. I crawled back to the cockpit and lowered the wheels so that Bob could make a quick emergency landing, ...   — Lt. McCarthy reporting from his hospital bed.[17]

Lt. McCarthy was my father-in-law, Daniel J. McCarthy of Masspequa, NY. He passed away many years ago...1983?? One of the striking things about this incident is that Joe Kennedy Jr. received the Navy Cross, yet, my father-in-law did not receive a medal. I do not know the full name of 'Bob' who piloted the plane my father-in-law was in.

Lt. McCarthy's granddaughter, my daughter, now serves in the US Navy as a Chief Petty Officer.

Any info about this would be welcome. You can contact me at: beubie@aol.com.

Sincerely, Bob Eubanks
