Re: Blue on Blue footage (US x RAF Mosquito?)

Two pilots from the 4th FG, 335th FS (fixed, thanks Frank) were credited with the shoot down of a "ME 410", each getting half a credit.

The first was 2nd Lt Ralph Edward Lewis. Lewis was later killed on 18 November 1944.

The second pilot was 1st Lt Elmer Norbert McCall, Jr. (1923 - ????)

McCall finished the war with this his only credit. He became a businessman in the Pittsburgh, PA area. He started a family business which
is still operated by McCall family members today.

Two RAF men in the Mosquito:
Pilot: Flight Lt Alfred Earnest Palmer (39 missions).

Navigator: Flight Sgt Douglas Gardner (39 missions).
