Will need to check the various times involved, but maybe Lund was forced out of formation after hitting the sea off Sicily and was coming back westward alone, maybe on only one engine, when he was intercepted and shot down by Schiehs in Bizerte area ?

Another possibility will be a F-5 being hit by Schiehs and diving to escape, the dive extinguishing the flames reported by the German pilot allowing the US pilot to return to base.
