"Lt. Cmdr. Cy Johnston struck the plane that Lt. Seldon was piloting. They hit at about 700 ft. altitude. Seldon and his passenger, Ensign Willis, were killed. Johnston and his mechanic were saved."

(This is an amazing photo of Johnston's plane, SFA No. A-5905, just before it went into freefall. A closeup crop of the ID number can be viewed here.)
