Hillis
We talked this over extensively in an earlier thread. Hillis didn't shoot down a P-47 and had only 1 confirmed kill. He's not an ace so he wouldn't be in Stars and Bars. The American not German flown P-47 was indeed shot down but by Lt Dominic 'Coppy' Coppolino of Hillis's squadron the 366th FS commanded by Maj. Sam Hitchcock. There was never any American flag on the P-47 that's just a bad war story.
