Re: RAF pilot flying with USAAF
Hello Brian,
From "In a now Forgotten Sky"
Page 145.
Makes reference to the bad weather and that the 309th put up two sweeps, one at 11.30 to 12.20 the other from 14.30 to 15.30 at 21000 ft.
There were No sightings of e/a on either mission.
Two pilots returned early but from which sortie is not recorded, they were Griffing and Jared.
Perhaps the reference to the loss of the RAF man was that he was some kind of ground officer or instructor ( the group were still on Spitfires but soon to take on the P51 ).
The 31 FG Honor site does mention Shenberger but no details other than the date of 24/11/43.
There was a Shropshire who was with the 309th , KIA on 24/09/44. Perhaps him ?
Alex
