Re: Sheldon Sutton and the Consolidated PB4Y

Hello Laurent,

thanks for your answer.
I found five PB4Y claims against German aircraft: two by VB103, two by VB105 and one by VB110. I tracked the locations by the latitude and longitude given although the hyphens in the data were quite troublesome. I think we can safely say that these five German planes were downed in the Atlantic and thus represent ETO kills (not MTO).

Can you tell me if all PB4Y claims against Japanese aircraft represent PTO kills (and not CBI) ?

Kind regards,

Michael

PS: Intriguingly I found two guys who narrowly missed becoming PV Ventura/Harpoon aces : John Harshberger and Frank Schwable (4 kills each).
