Re: Lt. Nielson of 82nd Fighter Group (1943)?
Denes,
I have him as Douglas A. Neilson. I have a note made to this effect but not my source unfortunately, although I could probably find it eventually. (Think it might have come from an old issue of 'LIGHTNING STRIKES', the magazine of the P-38 National Association ?).
According to Frank Olynyk's volume on USAAF fighter claims in the MTO he made one claim for a damaged Bf109 on 24 February 1944. Further notes made by me indicate on that date he was a First Lieutenant and a member of the 95th Fighter Squadron, 82nd FG.
That is all I can find right now.
Regards,
Martin Gleeson.
