Re: P-51 "Old Crow" and 8./JG 1 - a little discovery
Lagarto - From Book To War with the Yoxford Boys by Merle Olmsted
The 357th FG lost 8 Pilots 2/21/44.
The Pilot in question could have been Lt. Tom Beemer - He was shot
down by B - 17 . Bailed out but his Chute " Streamed " and he suffered
permanent injuries to Legs and Back. He was POW, repatriated 3/44.
No mention of Lt. Boyle being injured.
