Re: 1/Lt T.J. Lynch 39th FS/35th FG 20 May 1942
Intriguing. I see where you are going. He is decorated for a combat where he (and two others) claimed a Japanese fighter, but not for the earlier combat where he is credited with two kills and force landed? It looks as if the earlier victories were added to his scorecard at a later date.
Also I believe the policy in theatre was to toss a coin where two or more pilots claim the same victory. The victory on May 26, 1942 might have been just such a toss-up.
