Re: p-38, not missing?
If 13 July, 1944 it must be 1st FG again (14th FG and 82nd FG lost no KIA pilot on that day).
1st FG lost 4 KIA's on 13 July:
27th FS lost three KIA on a Lavariano fighter sweep
George F. Eldred (MACR 6805)
Thomas E. Wood (MACR 6806)
Leo E. Lemons (MACR 6804)
IIRC all three were reported down in target area
Fourth pilot was a freshman from 94th FS, Lt. Howard Micheli. He went missing in his very first combat mission. Target was the same. Perhaps he is your man.
MACR is 7192
