bearing the number „17“ was the personal mount
of LT R. E. Stambook. Stambook attained 11 kills
during his combat career. The sharkmouths and
bloodshot disappeared from the VF-27 Hellcats
shortly after the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Philippi-
nes. USS Princeton was sunk by Japanese naval
bomber on October 24, 1944.
