Information about 1Lt. James D. Holloway and Capt. Paul R. Mass, both of 82. FG, 95. Sqd. MED. Theater of Operations
 

Gentlemen, I'm looking for information about these two former P-38 pilots of WW2. The both flew a mission to Austria on June 26th, 1944 and both claimed at least 1 x Me 410 on that day.

1Lt. James Davis Holloway - O-753664 of Columbus, North Carolina, a US-fighter ace with at least 6 victories - MIA since May 2nd, 1945 or June 18th, 1945 in the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations - very interesting!

Capt. Paul Ray MASS - O-760358

Any help, pictures and informations are appreaciated. Thanks - K.
