Re: Republic P-47 Pat II Nose Art, France 1944

There is a Maj. Richard West LaRoque (O417166) assigned to the 36th FG, who claimed 2 Me-109s on March 3, 1945 between 1400 and 1410, 1 m NE of Remagen. He was MIA on April 10, 1945. The ABMC website says he was in the 362nd FG (wrong), and he is buried in the Ardennes American Cemetery, Plot D Row 12 Grave 56. MACR 14385.

There is a family story about him at http://laroqueblog.blogspot.com/2011...l#comment-form

I have emailed the owner of the laroqueblog about this information.

Well done, Alex!

Enjoy!

Frank.
