Looking for war time photos of the following USN personnel:
ARM1c Harry William Ashton from Bunker Hill's VB-8 from Plainfield NJ. MIA 20 Jun 44 during the Battle of the Philippine Sea's "Mission Beyond Darkness". He was the radioman for Lt(jg) Robert E. Sterling.
Ens. William Russell Rogers from Randolph's VBF-16 from Huntington Park CA. KIA 9 Aug 45. Shot down by AA at Misawa Airfield, Honshu, Japan.
Lt(jg) Andrew Jackson Sawyer, Jr. from Ticonderoga's VF-87 from Ann Arbor MI. KIA 10 Aug 45. Shot down by AA at Misawa Airfield, Honshu, Japan.
Any help would be appreciated.

Two out of three:
Nothing on William Rogers yet - checked the available Huntington Park High School yearbooks, '42 and '46, but nothing turned up. Checked variations in the newspapers (a lot of hits on Bill Rogers, but they referred to Will Rogers Jr.).
