Re: Loss of 332nd FG

Hello Phil,
Sadly we are not made aware as to what the engine problem was. It may well have been due to damage from combat in which case the claim for a P51 would perhaps be correct, the only problem then is claim by which pilot is the correct claim ?
Then if the engine problem was not due to combat then the claim should fail.
The RAF lost two Mustangs that date but not in the south .Only other fighter I believe lost was a P47.
Alex
