Tommy Lynch was involved in a combat at 0755 in which he was badly shot up and forced to land. He claimed to have damaged a Zeke.
At 0900 he is aloft again to claim two kills over Waigani, NG. Assuming Lynch landed severely damaged and probably very shaken after 0800, did he then fly a second sortie minutes later?
Lynch is a favourite subject of mine and therefore my intent is not to dispute the records but to question them not him. Although I do dispute the Newspapers descriptions of him as a handsome Hollywood leading man. His nose shows he was a... mediocre boxer?
best regards
