Re: P38 losses on July 21st 1943 suffered by 8th FG
Hello Nick,
The following information is from 'ATTACK & CONQUER: The 8th Fighter Group in WW2' by John Stanaway and Larry Hickey (well known on this forum). It seems Tonys from the 68th and 78th Sentais, Oscars from the 1st and 24th Sentais and some Lily bombers were involved. Only the 80th FS of the 8th FG, along with other P-38s of the 39th FS from the 35th FG participated on the American side. They were escorting B-25 Mitchells. According to the book the 80th FS only lost one pilot and P-38, Lt. Murtha McCarthy. No mention of any damaged Lightnings, nor of any losses for the 39th FS. Regards, Martin Gleeson.
