My Uncle ditched an Avenger after running out of gas due to a
battled-damaged carrier and bad DF steer preventing a timely recovery.

His crew survived. He did not.


Sorry to hear that, Jack. Would you mind stating his name here? I am one of
the people who believe that as long as a person's name is remembered, a piece
of them stays with us. Sounds to me like he deserves to be remembered 'out
loud'.
