Myron M. Truax

[Kocab Zdenek]

What kind of Japanees aircrafts were shot down by Myron M. Truax on 4th May 1945?

Don't see his name in any Army Airforce claims list I have.
If he was from the US he might be Navy?
Sorry not much help.

To which squadron was he assigned at the time?

[Kocab Zdenek]

Myron M. Truax was flying on F6F Hellcat at VF-83.

[twocee]

His six claims for the day at the radar picket station were:

1 Val
1 Oscar or Zeke
4 "Type 93"

The latter were described as twin float seaplanes and were probably Type 94 Alfs (E7K).

Correction to my last:

The "Type 93" was in fact the float version of the Willow (K5Y) trainer.
