Re: 50th Fighter Group (10th, 81st, 313th FS)
Frank,
On April 27, 1945, Lt. J.M. Wiley of the 313th was credited with the FW 190 destroyed according to the book written by Gilbert C. Burns. Quote, "After strafing we were at 8,000 feet looking for targets of opportunity when two FW 190s were sighted below. Capt. Hudson's flight dived on them but because of their high speed they overshot. It was finally Lt. Wiley of Johnson's flight who finally got on the tail of an FW 190 and shot him down."
