Air combat Italy April '44
My father-in-law's B-17F 43-5418 "Chief Wahoo" was shot up by 109 over Piombino [near Pisa] on 28th April 44. Ed was seriously WIA when a cannon shell struck his upper turret. on 30th April "Chief Wahoo" was shot down by flak and fighters over Vanette {Milan}. Ed was not on board obviously.
I'm trying to locate any details on both actions including who or what unit flew the 109's. Also any photographs or detailsa on "Chief Wahoo" would be helpful. His other aircraft was B-17G 43-30232 "Flak Happy" tfr to 99th BG. Ed flew with 815th BS 483rd BG...
