Re: Searching for Claim Report Lt. Futch, 50th FG.
As per the book 'First TACAF' by Victor Tannehill the date was October 20th 1944 (as per USSTAF published General order 81)
He also adds an interesting footnote saying:
The XII TAC units had fought in a short-lived provisional "First Tactical Air Force" some months before in Italy.
Unfortunately I can't find anything else regarding that. Perhaps someone else can enlighten me what that really was?
Cheers
Stig
