Kent mentions in post 5 that the story is in the 361st FS history for September (1944). You can order the September History from AFHRA:
https://www.afhra.af.mil/
This search of the AFHRA index is for 0361 Fighter Squadron:
http://airforcehistoryindex.org/sear...0SQUADRON&h=25
It shows one item for September 1944:
http://airforcehistoryindex.org/data/000/059/008.xml
If Kent would verify that this item ( IRISNUM 00059008 which is for
IRISREF A0785, REEL 0000000829 ) is the file he was referring to, you can place an order.
To order the "CD", which at this point will be a very large free downloadable pdf file (not a "physical" CD) see the instructions in "Ordering Digitized Microfilm" on the AFHRA page. Typically the download will contain many more items than just the September file.
Note: If someone has a copy of the large "CD" file, they can just create a small pdf file of just McDowell's story and send it to you.
