INEDITA TOTAL!!!
On August 16, 1942, Lt. Ernest D. Cody (who piloted the L-8 on the USS Hornet delivery mission above) and Ens. Charles E. Adams took-off in the L-8 from Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay on a routine anti-submarine patrol.
After about an hour, Cody radioed that they were going to investigate an oil slick. That was the last message heard from the L-8.
Later that day, the blimp was spotted south of San Francisco up against a beachside cliff. The airship became dislodged, drifted inland, and floated down in Daly City.
But no one was aboard the L-8 and the fate of Cody and Adams has never been determined.
