Marlin P5M crash 1954.

My father in law has told me an interesting story about a crash of a Martin P5M
Marlin flying boat patrol bomber. The crash occured in 1954 near Horta, Azores
Islands. My father in law was on board the seaplane tender Currituck AV 7.
Apparently Pan Am flying boats used to take off from the harbor but this meant
flying right towards a hill. The Marlin pilot decided to take off in the open
sea where there was a heavy swell. He also decided to use RATO assist.
Something went wrong and instead of taking off the rockets drove the aircraft
into the sea. Several of the crew survived but not all.

Where could I find out about this tragic loss?
