Re: 76thFS/23rdFG Flight operations in Northern Burma 1943
"23rd Fighter Group: Chennault’s Sharks" by Carl Molesworth indicates that the 23. FG was the only group in the USAAF to register any combat claims in the P-43 and that Jeffery Wellborn's 2Jan1943 claim was the only confirmed Lancer victory of the war.
This omits that the P-43 was flown by the Chinese pilots Kao You-Hsin (two kills in the type) and Chow Chi-Kai (1 kill).
