Came across your post doing a google search on my grandfather. I'd only known him a little (he died when I was six) but apparently my grandpa Henry Shelley Cocklin designed this plane (or at least was the person in charge of the design). Thanks for posting; after reading the story of this airplane, I have to wonder what my grandfather's thoughts were when he would have heard that all hands were 'believed lost' with the plane that he designed, as well as how happy he must have been to find out that the plane made it to Hawaii after all!
