Re: John Stanaway's "Kearby's Thunderbolts"

Col,
My copy is from 1997, but page 177 has an entry for June 26, 1944: Lt John B. Yearby (340) Killed in a takeoff accident at Wakde when his P-47 caught fire and crashed into the sea.

No MACR.

The US WW2 death list I have says he is 1st Lt John B Yerby, O-888675. It has no other details, other than that he was from Oregon, and received an Air Medal and a Purple Heart.

Enjoy!

Frank.
