Re: Info on 1st Lt. William L. Kester 44th FS 18th FG
Santiago,

I have just reviewed my 45th FS records. The Kester of the 45th FS is John E Kester, who joined the 45th in December 1944 as a 2nd Lt. He has a shared damaged claim on April 19, 1945, and a destroyed claim on July 19, 1945. I do not have a service number for him, so I do not know if this is the same person as 2nd Lt John Edwin Kester of the 338th FS, 55th FG who claimed an FW 190 on November 2, 1944. I would tend to doubt it.

Enjoy!

Frank.
