date unknown P-38 unknown O-431143 14FG 49FS Moore, Gail E. Jr. KIA Plane apparently hit by flak dove into the ground and exploded
date unknown P-38 unknown 14FG 49FS Knapp, Ralph L. S/d Rtn The aircraft were bombing Faid Pass in the mountains south of Tunis, Tunisia. He fired at the group of bombers, destroying one and catching the attention of the German ME-110 fighters escorting the bombers. One of the ME-110s hit his plane, forcing him to crash land in the desert.
