1 Nov.1944 - 474 FG - 370 FG - P38's
Hi,
The Daily Diary for 429 Squadron (474 FG) for 1/11/1944 (AFHRA reel B0625 p.111) mentions :
…
Capt.Munger, while test hopping a ship over the field, met up another Lightning from the 370th Group and both planes commenced rat racing maneuvres. While engaged in a dog fight over the field, a short in Capt.Munger’s cannon caused it to fire, knocking out one of the 370th’s engines. The plane came in and made a rough single engine landing. When Capt.Munger landed, sweat could be seen upon his forehead.
…
Are any additional details, sa who was the pilot of the 370 th P38, serial of the planes, available ?
Many thanks and best regards
Luc
