KAREN BRANN wrote on January 22, 2012 City and State: LEASBURG NO Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My daddy Kennette Smith could have been called Smitty. He was from Mebane NC. Served in the US Navy aboard the Pine Island but I am not sure of the exact years. I have several Pineapple Newspapers from his service days. I have a paper that lists my daddy and others under a heading of May 22 1952. Others include R.R. Cole, R.G. Karlstrom, H. Franson, H. Fitzgerald, M. Jaudon. Do any of you remember him? Beside his name is ADE3. One of the old newspapers he left behind notes that the ships Captain is William R. Stevens. My daddy was F.K. Smith Jr. He died in 2001. I miss him terribly. I would be truly grateful for any pictures, stories, recollections of him.Thank you very much. Karen Smith Brann, Leasburg NC. Keywords:

Victimized by the Antarctics notoriously foul-weathered Phantom Coast, the non-surviving crew and the photoreconnaissance Mariner Patrol Bomber remain buried in up to 150 feet below the accumulating snows of Thurston Island.

Six fellow crewmen survived the crash and were rescued 13 days later.    Adverse weather conditions during the end of Operation Highjump precluded the recovery of the fallen crewmen. For 60 years the surviving families, surviving George One crewmembers and crewmembers of the rescue teams have long petitioned the U.S. Navy to recover the men for proper interment in the United States.
