Re: P38 October 2,1942 1 FG

Hi Alex;

If the 27th FS lost one P-38 on 19 August 1942 - it flew to Britain on 22 August - then still in Iceland: no known loss is recorded on that date - but one unconfirmed witness stated to this author many years ago that one P-38 was in combat and ´shot down´ by German plane around middle of August, this falling into sea west of Reykjavik City.
Souces state American fighters did search for unindentified plane on this date but without success...

best regards
