Ensign Edward Joseph Philippe
His original Fighter-Six Squadron Log Book
Philippe might be the first person ever killed in combat flying the F6F Hellcat.
He flew with the famous Navy Fighter Squadron-Six (VF-6) which was commanded by Butch O'Hare
E.J. Philippe went MIA on October 5, 1943 during the Wake Island raids of Oct 5-6, 1943
We just received this log book and more information and details will be added as I research the item.
The Log Book contains page after page of Butch O'Hare signatures and initials!
