As wonderful as Those Other Eagles and Aces High are, there are often gaps in individual service histories and other details. It's good that researches such as yourself can fill in the gaps and post them on great websites like yours.

It would certainly be highly unlikely that two sergeant pilots would have the same three initials and last name, especially a relatively uncommon one like "Pearce." I also found the three claims in France you mentioned in Twelve Days in May with the latter two also listed in Foreman's Fighter Command Victory Claims.

Cheers,
