Re: American Aces Died in 2008
1/Lt Liles was shot down by flak defending the airfield in Kleacany, near Prague, Czechoslovakia, on March 3, 1945 while strafing it with other pilots of the 55th FG. His fellow 1/Lt Howes landed to try to pick him up but they failed and were - being wounded - later captured.
