Eugene George Fairfax USNA'39 VF-11

[keith A]

This pilot claimed four personal aerial victories in the period October 1944 to January 1945 but his citations for several DFCs mention his contribution to others. Was he accredited with other shared victories. He is not in Frank Olynyk's S&B but maybe his shared victories amounted to less than one complete claim?
