"History of Marine Observation Squadron Six":
"On 9 September 1952, Captain Robert B. Lipscombe Jr. and Second Lieutenant Roland L. McDaniel were shot down while flying a reconnaissance mission in their OE. Ground observers saw the action, and also saw two parachutes open and drift to the ground behind enemy lines. They later noted the enemy leading personnel to the rear. Both Lipscomb and McDaniel were listed as Missing In Action. The same day Captain Donald K. Trotter Jr. and Second Lieutenant Emile A. Walker were also shot down in an OE. Trotter and Walker had been searching for Lipscombe and McDaniel when they were hit and forced down behind enemy lines. They were also listed as missing in action.

Captain Robert B. Lipscombe Jr. and Second Lieutenant Roland L. McDaniel were captured by the North Koreans on 9 September and released in August 1953. When Captain Lipscombe was released, he verified the deaths of Trotter and Walker. They had been killed in action when their plane crashed after being shot down."
