Re: P-38 Painting/Art

2Lt Virgil Hagan of the 433rd FS 475th FG was downed (MIA) on Oct 17, 1943 over Oro Bay trying to help Tom McGuire who was also downed but survived. I've read from a number of sources that the great Japanese ace Nishizawa downed both. Hagan was flying P-38H #181 and scored a kill on the 15th.
