Re: P-38 loss 11 Jan 43
Lovell, Hometown: Beaver County, PA Bizerte, Tunisia, Had prior service with RCAF to RAF 263 Squadron. He had been flying Westland Whirlwinds Ten P-38s of the 1st. Fighter Group escorted B-17s on a raid in the Gabes area, southern Tunisia coast, but over OUED EL AKARIT, 16 miles northwest of Gabes, 12 Bf-109s and FW-190s jumped two P-38s for a claim of one (Bill Lovell) and one probable (me, Ilfrey, Jack M). OFW Schultz of 11/JG51 claimed one P-38 which he saw crash west of Gabes at 1700 and OFW Nielinger hit a second, but was not awarded a confirmed victory. Bill and I had been flying together since he had transferred from an RCAF flying for an RAF Squadron to our 94th.
