Re: Capt Joseph Lang 4th FG KIA 14 October 1944
Could it be ground fire, he was low down and alone; Eighth AF War Diary says it was "battle damage" rather than shot down. Lang's radio message was 1hr. 25mins. after he was reported turning off by his wingman 1/Lt. Jahnke after the B-24s were diverted (MACR 9495)-- possibly engine trouble but odd that he didn't call it in.
Regards
Nick
