Re: FAA Role in the Pacific.?
Graham,
The last FAA claims, on August 15, 1945, by 887 and 890 Seafires, and and 820 Sqn Avenger, are at 0545. The last USN claim on that date is at 1400, There is a USN claim at 0540, and again at 0545, and starting at 0640 (until 1400) there are claims for 25/2/4 victories. There is also an uncredited claim by a P-61 (chasing an Oscar into the water) at about 1900 that evening. (I suspect it is uncredited more because "the war was over"; it is not anecdotal, as there is a combat report, and reference to it in the Okinawa Air Defense daily report). Frank.
