Re: 1 & 7 April 43, USN, USMC & USAAF claims
The P-38 pilot lost on 4/1 was Joseph O. Young.
The raid on 4/1 was not actually part of A-GO . Admiral Ozawa did not arrive in Rabaul until 4/2. The first raid ("X") was planned for 4/6 but weather delayed til 4/7.
Detailed U.S. claims are available from various sources. I have written a rather extensive monograph on the 4/7 raid. I think I gave away my last hard copy complete with photos, maps, and appendices.
Contact me off line if you are really interested and I'll see if I can assemble another copy.
