Re: What was A.L. Beardon doing ?
There is some comentary in "Peter Three Eight" by John Stanaway about Lt. Bearden:
"One 459th pilot who might require special mention is Lt. Aaron Bearden. Somehow Lt. Bearden aquired the reputation of being a real dud and was ostracized by some of the pilots of the squadron...Bearden was shot down on September 3,1944 and captured by the Japanese. He ran into difficulties after the war when military authorities tried to court martial him for allegedly helping the Japanese erect a captured dismantled P-38. The charges were dropped."
