Hi, thanks for your assistance. My man was shot down at 1120 south of Bonn. Someone did share with me the USAAF victories for that day at that time, and I've tried to find any of the Americans from that time period who may still be alive. So far I have found that Elton Long, George Yobb, Howard Foulkes, Rodney Heyl, and William Dilley have all passed away. I found no traces of Earl Jackson or Joseph Freeman, both of 493rd Fighter Squadron, 48th Fighter Group. Anyone know these gentlemen or a contact at the 493rd? Web searches did not pull up any reunion info, or a historian for the squadron. Although I did find the unit history, it did not mention this specific day.
