Has him in a 210 instead of a 410, (so some discrepancies), but the description of the crash may be generally correct.
Many of the newspaper stories from 1943 have incorrect information, e.g. they have him KIA vs DNB, Pilot of a B-17 etc.
A second series of newspaper stories that appeared at the time of a memorial service for him in 1944, mention he was killed while testing a plane (but do not say it was a German plane). He was from Wapella, IL.
