    So... that last Avenger that the navigator parachuted from?

    It was piloted by Lieutenant George Brown. He was KIA during the strike.

    Oh, before I forget, Hiyou was only attacked by 3 Avengers during that strike. Some might say, "typical air combat over-claiming" but I'm beginning to think that there was a lot of friendly fire going on.
