This will make me think. I just moved (a year ago!) my books are still in storage. I think I read Johsons P-47 "Half Pint" was lost over the North sea by another pilot. I used to correspond with Johnson before he past away, I'll look through my letters to see if he mentioned this. His letters to me are about his spicific missions so they may not shed light on this. If I remember right he stated that " Half Pint" was his favorite P-47. Maybe I can talk my wife into letting me get my books back! Thanks for the response it gives me somthing to try and look up.
