Weather aids seaplane search and naval planes deployed
Honolulu reported strong support for locating seaplane FR-9 No. 4 missing after it ditched due to fuel shortage in a storm en route from San Francisco to Pearl Harbor. Commander John Rodgers and four co pilots remain unfound as air and sea units expand eastward scouting, with two patrol planes and Langley tasking to station 4 and 1,800 mile search corridor. Submarines were sent to scout eastward between long 166 and lat 25 to 30, as favorable moonlit weather aids the operation.
