Biography

John A. Pritchard Jr. (January 12, 1914 – November 28, 1942) was a United States Coast Guardsman who died while attempting to rescue the crew of a USAAF bomber that had crashed-landed in Greenland in November 1942. Pritchard was the pilot of the USCGC Northland's Grumman J2F-4 Duck floatplane. When a B-17 bomber crash landed near Northland. Pritchard and his radioman, RM1 Benjamin A. Bottoms, volunteered to search for it. He sighted the bomber, and landed as close to the wreck as possible. Pritchard and Bottoms were able to assist two of the injured bomber crew to their plane, and take them back to Northland. However, on their second rescue visit they encountered bad weather, and crashed. Their bodies have never been found.
