Lessing (O-916 612)], also a WWII soldier, found and extricated from an Excalibur plane crash site in Botwood Bay, Newfoundland, Canada, in October 1942.  CPT Lessing was a close friend of General Doolittle and apparently on his way to a meeting with Gen. Doolittle in Foynes, Ireland when his plane crashed, but neither he nor the documents he was allegedly carrying, allegedly have been recovered.
