Alvin Kernan's memoirs of his experiences as an enlisted man on US Navy carrier during WWII, Crossing the Line: A Bluejacket's World War II Odyssey, describe this night in detail, from the perspective of the man who fired the Avenger's gun seconds before Butch disappeared. (The book also happens to be the best-written narrative of WWII naval aviation that I've read in a long time. I recommend it highly. But it's now out-of-print.)

I agree with the author on "Crossing the Line"-it's an outstanding read and I highly recommend it. And for anyone who's interested, it's not out of print. You can get it at the U.S. Naval Institute Press
