P-38 Pilot POW August 25th,1943
In an article on Johannes Steinhoff, he mentions that he took a P-38 pilot POW during the August 25th,1943 strafing raid. They both got so drunk that any escape attempt by the USAAF pilot would have been out of the question.

Does anyone know the identity of this pilot? I know the 82nd FG had three POWs out of four P-38s lost, the 1st had one POW out two P-38 lost and the 14th FG lost two P-38s.
