"Prune's Progress" NZ 5050 No.25 Sqn


"SBD/NZ5050 (ex-BuAer36898) flown by Plt.Off.G.H.Cray and Flt.Sgt.F.D.Bell is reported missing. The aircraft was last seen flying over the target area at high speed - probably after being hit by flak which was - reportedly - very intense that day."

You can faintly see the outline of a women? in the 1st pic.
Pic 2 ..good shot of the squadron crest.

No.25 Sqn NZ 5051

"Flight Lieutenant Jack Edwards with his wireless operator/gunner, Flight Sergeant Hoppe, posing on the wing of NZ5051. Note the outline representation of the squadron crest in white."
"SBD/NZ 5051 (ex BuAer 36908) flown by Flt.Lt.J.W. Edwards and Warrant-Off. L.A. Hoppe - reportedly hit by flak just after releasing their bomb - crashed into the sea off Great Habour, killing both crewmen."
