The P47s of this unit made 2 claims during the war. One was a Dinah on 4/8/1945 shared by 4 pilots. Does anyone have details of the other claim, and the pilots who shot down the Dinah on 4/8/1945?

In The Pineapple Air Force, author John Lambert states the 414th's sole aerial victory was that Dinah downed (and shared by 4 pilots) on 4 Aug 45 - no mention of any other claims. However, I have the 1990 ed of the book; perhaps his most recent Schiffer edition has more updated info.

Sorry, misread my source, the kill by the 456th FS is the only claim,
