14th FG mission on 8 February 1945
I would like to know more about the 14th FG activity on 8 February 1945.
What I know is that it met CR.42s of NSGr. 7 and shot down probably 3, while an unknown German pilot claimed a P-38 shot down. The two losses I know for the 14th FG are both near Pochlarn, Austria, about 130 km more north, and reportedly by AA and small arms fire. Known losses: P-38L-1-LO 44-25038 - 1st Lieutenant Frederick R. Branscombe killed - Headquarters, 14th Fighter Group - MACR 12138 P-38L-1-LO 44-25020 (14th FG) - Captain Kyle J. Pinney Jr. - MACR 12139 The fate of Captain Pinney is unclear to me. It is not buried in Europe and is not on the POW online database either. Thanks in advance
