Re: Two P-38 Problems, North Africa, 1943
Chris
Frank moved this claim/loss to March 4th in the book.
He also added that the force landing took place near Mulluva river in Algeria (so not in French Morocco)
Serial number and pilot still unknown at the time of publication.
Sounds like it came down in Allied held territory so no MACR issued. Possibly the aircraft was not too badly damaged and perhaps taken back as spares or possibly even put back into circulation again.
If that is so the record card will only show dates when it was condemned or stricken which could be very different from when the actual incident took place.
Cheers
Stig
