Cobbey was a Flight Officer (Warrant Officer). He was KIA strafing an armored column in Serbia following a bombing escort to Nis on Sept 2 1944. There is no MACR for his crash and death. Based on his wingman's letter to the family, Cobbey crashed inverted at high speed from 100 feet. The German SS was definitely in Serbia conducting genocide while withdrawing in the face of the Russian advance.
