Does anybody have the the dates for air-to-air claims by the following:
VF-9: John Orth (6 victories). I have the AAR for 4 May 1945 with three Betty's destroyed. Also, he bagged two aircraft on 29 April but I don't what type of aircraft. Also, when was his other kill?
VF-17: Robert J. Humphrey (5.33). I can't find any information on him except he shot down a Tabby on 18 March 45 and was killed in Korea in 1952.
