God bless them all

The Pan Am plane was a B-377 that lost 2 (of 4!!) engines, I believe one prop went into flat pitch and overspeed. Ditching occurred near an Ocean Ship just after dawn, having circled the ship during the night, knowing they couldn't shore. The Captain's name was Richard Ogg. Any guesses on the identifier for the Maui VOR?
