Re: Lt Homer Sprinkle and Sgt Julius Friend - DNB crash 18 Oct 1943
Just in case, both men are buried in USA (see findagrave for war details) and according to the newspapers announcing his death, Sgt Julius Friend died of wounds.
As a Sgt, Friend was probably not a pilot so was probably flying as a passenger in the aircraft flown by Lt Sprinkle. Aircraft was probably a liaison plane, or even a captured Italian or German plane, rather than a P-38. That may explain the absence of accident report.
