\n

I’ve continued to pursue my Uncle Herb’s valiant, if ill fated, World War II record. Delving into unpublished war records and archives, I’ve been able to trace him to his arrival at Guadalcanal in the heat of the battle. Many details are still missing and records are hard to find. If you happen to know anything about his unit, his ship, of any of his fellow Navy airmen, I’d like to hear about it.<\/p>\n

I’ve drawn up this list based on the National Archive’s copies of the Deck Logs of the Escort Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Copahee from November 1942 through February 1943, as she carried the men and planes of Navy Squadron VGS-12 to relieve the embattled Cactus Air Force on Guadalcanal. My Uncle Herbert Hopp was among the Grumman Avenger torpedo bomber crews set ashore on Guadalcanal on Feb 1, 1943. Anyone with additional information please leave a reply below or contact me at the email address at the bottom of the list.<\/p>\n
