319th FIS. This interceptor was vectored in on an unidentified aircraft by the Cho-do island radar site. 50-887 closed to firing range, and called "Splash," which indicated they had actually downed the enemy aircraft. At that instant their fighter, 50-887, disappeared from Cho-do's radar, and it never was confirmed whether they dove into the water or had a mid-air collision with the wreckage of the aircraft they shot down. Pilot 2th Stanton G. Wilcox and radar operator 2th Lt Irwin L.Goldberg killed.
