Navy pilot sinks three U-boats
Lt. Robert Pershing Williams, USNR, 26‑year‑old naval pilot of Snoqualmie, Washington, during a period of six weeks destroyed two U‑boats, bombed another into such helplessness that it was readily sent to the bottom by another plane, and possibly damaged a fourth underseas raider.
Lt. Williams, pilot of a Grumman Avenger bomber, is attached to one of the Navy’s new escort aircraft carriers assigned to anti-submarine patrol and escort duty in the Atlantic.
