Re: Lt. Hutchison of 94th Fighter Squadron

On a photo recon mission over Stuttgart, Flight Officer Thomas R. Graffam, a 94th pilot, was shot down on his first or second mission by anti-aircraft gunfire. Damaged initially, on the return back he was hit again near Venice. His plane went down in the Adriatic and F/O Graffam died swimming with his chute (Germans were approaching). On the same mission, Lt James H. Hutchinson, Jr. from the 94th and Lt Robert Carrothers, 27th FS, were reported missing in action. The group ceased flying local combat missions until Operation ARGONAUT was completed
MACR# 11748 A/Craft P-38L Ser.# 44-25039
Lt James H. Hutchinson, Jr, MIA, Prague, Czech
Kind regards
Ross
