Re: 15 April - first P-47 kill in ETO - confirmed, or not?
It's definately possible that the a/c Blakeslee bounced were from a differnt unit altogather - I would again submit he had a few kills under him already and that if it was seen to crash into the sea - well not much more to discuss! I find it fascinating that there is more and more reseach being conducted by both professional researchers/historians, aas well as very keen amateurs on the air fighting of WWII!
Although it'd be nice to hear from Col. Blakeslee himself. I believe his he still with us (I saw him in a History Channel episode about the P-51). Man would he have a terific autobiography!
