Re: B-25 Mid-air - 12 Jan 1943 - Chakulia, India - 341 BG

I was interested in the fact the Nicholas Marich (co-pilot in the first plane) had been shot down at Hong Kong and had evaded according to his findagrave link:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/...icholas-marich

While I could not find a MACR for this, I did find a very interesting pdf file (a Master's Thesis of some 250 pages) which described his evasion among many others. The thesis is called "Fallen Tiger: The fate of American's Missing Airmen in China" by Daniel Jackson (2017)

This link is to a direct download of the pdf file. Some of you might find it interesting. It gets into some history of the war in China.

Also found an interesting account of the Hong Kong raid from the Chinese side: https://www.atroshenko.com/NSbiog004.html
