Re: Searching for Claim Report Lt. Futch, 50th FG.
The only reference I have to this claim is the Operational Report, found on Maxwell microfilm B0145, frames 174 and 175. Claim is noted as in the vicinity of Freiburg, at 1655 hours. There is no official USAF credit for this claim, and for much of the claims of the 50th FG from October 1944 onwards, because they were assigned to the 1st Tactical Air Force (Provisional) at this point, and the 1st did not have a Victory Confirmation Board.

1st Lt Sydney B Futch, 313th FS, serial O676775. Later Captain, and POW on Feb 22, 1945.

Enjoy!
