Re: P-51 D 1Lt-Gus D. Leslie 55FG 343FS 5 November 1944
Hello,
"Double Nickel Double Trouble" by Lt Col R M Littlefield has what you seek I feel.
Leslie in a/c "CY-A" serial number 44-13363 became a POW. His room mate was 2Lt.Jordon Eliades.
He is reported as attacking a locomotive and he sharp turned to the right heading toward a large town. As he approached from the west at approx 200ft light flak was sent up, he then chandelled (?) to the right, his last reported position was given as SE of where he was hit with flak altitude 400ft.
There also may be details in "The 55th Fighter Group vs the Luftwaffe" by John M Gray.
All the best
Alex
