51 |
New crew aircraft assignment for Quien Sabe. Returned with minor superficial damage to the fuselage caused by flak and no casualties. Claims: 1 Me-109 by SSgt. Forsythe. |
|
52 |
Aircraft returned out of formation at 10,000 feet due to loss of heat to tail and pilot compartment, co-pilot Edwards landed the aircraft single handed with pilot Johnstone seriously wounded and the remaining 4 survivors bailing out over base, due to the starboard landing gear being inoperable. The plane is beyond repair even though 1st Lt. Edwards brought her back to earth without further casualties. Claims 2 ME-109s & 1 FW-190 by SSgt Forsythe and 1 Me-109 by Sgt. De Lavier, 1 ME-110 apiece by 2nd Lt. Schenz and Sgt De Lavier. |
