Re: information about 78th Fighter group pilots
LittleFriends lists the following info which suggests Swanson was not flying MX-P when it was lost.
42-74733 P-47D 82 MX-P Swanson Lt William S
Lost 11 Feb 44 - Lt. Joseph A Scheibler KIA
MACR 2294
However Millers Fighter Units and Pilots 8th AF shows Swanson as lost on the 11/02/04 while flying MX-P with both him and Morsch both listed as "hit by a Me-109 southwest of Arras. "
Given the MACR for MX-P is the number immediatly before that for Morsch and Scheibler is not shown in Millers as being lost, I think its a fair bet that MACR 2294 relates to Swanson's loss on the 11/02/44.
