An Escort of P-38s: The 1st Fighter Group in World War II by John D. Mullins p64
"On May 10th strafing an airfield in Sicily Lieutenant George Burger was missing...
...On May 22nd Donald Lowe of the 94th was hit by anti-aircraft fire on a mission to Boca di Falco airfield near Palermo, Sicily. His plane was badly damaged and he was forced to bail out over the water, but was lost; and Robert Britz of the 27th Squadron was missing in action near Sardinia."
(Burger was from the 94th)
