Re: P-61 buffs

to your last question :

P-61 # 82 if the 425th nfs. Pilot Ormsby chases a Ju 87D and is hit by return fire of the rear gunner/radio operator. He ws then hit by US AA at 9,000 ft near Nancy. Ormsby called out on radio to stop firing but the US AA commander kept telling his men to shoot or he would court martial the gun crews ! 1 to 2 AA shells came up through the floor of the P-61 and killed Ormsby and broke both legs of the radar op Hower, but Hower struggled and bailed out, with German civilians taking him to Darmstadt's hosptial.......March 24, 1945.

to your first question nothing as to kills for the 422nd or 425th nfs.
