Andy,
1stLt John A Sullivan, service number O423966, claimed 3/1/1 with the 27th FS 1st FG, flying P-38s. His last claim with them was on Feb 28, 1943. As a Capt. he served with the 435th FS, 479th FG (8th AF), and is credited with a single damaged Me-109 on July 24, 1944, also flying the P-38. He undoubtedly completed his tour with the 27th FS and returned to the US, later joining the 435th FS for a second tour.
There is a 1stLt John B Sullivan, service number O689911, serving with the 405th FS, 371st FG (9th AF), who is credited with a single victory on June 20, 1944. If John A Sullivan served with the 353rd FG in 1943 he made no claims. I would be a little surprised at someone serving a tour in the Med and within months flying another tour in the ETO. The 353rd FG history, Jonah's Feet Are Dry, would be the place to check for further details.
Frank.
