John Landers ground kills

http://www.americanairmuseum.com/person/120391

According to the above site Landers made five probable claims in the Pacific and that four of his kills were in the P-38. The sources I have list his Pacific claims as all while flying a P40E.

He is also credited with 20 ground kills but sources vary on when and where these were claimed. I am certain that the 9 He177 he claims in 16 April 1945 are hus last and that he made other claims on 10 April 1945, the source states 8 destroyed but....

He makes 5 ground claims with 55th FG including 2 Ju88 SW Berlin on a date I don't know. He claims another ground kill on 18 November 1944 while with 357th FG. Therefore his tally is 23 in ETO. Can anyone give more details of the ground claims and/or comment on the details of those gained in the pacific?

best regards

Keith
