Lieutenant
(jg) Perry and his instructor were flying Vultee SNV-2
Valiant BuNo 52067 when they ran into trouble over Lake Washington
on
February 29, 1944. The pilot came in high on an emergency landing due
to incipient engine failure and overshot the runway. The engine cut out
entirely, forcing the pilot to land the plane on the water. The pilot
and his instructor escaped from the plane unharmed. The airplane and
engine sank immediately and were not recovered.
