Re: Need info on 110 pilot
That is not certain, but I would assume that he was a pilot...We can say that he was not KIA that day...as far as I know...

Re: Need info on 110 pilot
Thank you so much for the information. This is a new development for me as that never before have I seen a name given in relation to this engagement. My father flew with the 4th FG 355th sq. and was flying WD-H P-51B serial no. 43-6887. If you run across any more information you may contact me via email robertrmanning@yahoo.com. Thanks again.
