Re: Searching for 4th Figter Group contacts
Hello Mark ,
I've sent you a PM also , but maybe someone else on this forum could help. I'm looking for information / pictures about Lt Dale Leaf who was killed in action in my area on 2 September 1943 flying P-47 QP-I , 334 FS . His plane crashed at Dancourt , located between Rouen and Abbeville .No MACR available . Despite being buried at the Dieppe cemetary he is still reported as missing , maybe his body could'nt be identified . Laurent |

Dale B. Leaf was KIA in a clever trap when they caught the 4th climbing toward one batch of 6, then bounced by 15-20 from the other side.
Leaf last seen in Formerie area at 1750 with 4 Fw 190's on his tail in a steep dive. FO 120. He was from Marshalltown, Iowa and came to 334thFS on May 25 From Escort to berlin Regards, Bill |

Re: Searching for 4th Figter Group contacts
Thx, Jack for the referral -
FWIW, in addition to maybe being able to answer 4th-related questions, I offer the complete WWII 4th FG Operational Diaries as PDF files on CD. All three squadrons are represented from '42 to '45 in about 2500 pages. Recently I came into a large number of Eagle Squadron operational diary pages as JPEG files, and I'm thinking of adding them as a 'freebie' when the 4th Diaries are purchased. I had to pay through the nose to get the 4th diary pages scanned in as PDFs (not for the scanning - lucked out there - but in the shipping of many boxes of hard copies to Canada from the US as a 'trade' for the scanning - NOT cheap to ship!), but didn't have to pay for the Eagle Squadron stuff, thus the 'free' add-on. If interested, email me at chicoartist@REMOVECAPSyahoo.com (remove the capital letters before sending!) and I'll tell you how to get your CD for $14.95 + shipping. Alternatively, go to eBay and search for "4th Fighter Group Operational Diaries" - it's in my eBay Store as well ... Oh, before I forget, Osprey is releasing a book on the 4th next month by my friend author Chris Bucholtz. Cheers! Wade
