Lt. James McGovern "Earthquake McGoon"-War Record

Today on the Web, there were a lot of news about the burial of James McGovern, the famed CIA pilot who killed in 1954 while flying a C-119 (one was just used in the useless remake of Flight of the Phoenix). All the account mention that he had four Japanese air victories and five ground victories. While looking for him on the USAF AFHRS Website, I found that he claimed 2 Ki-43s on Jan 20,1945 while flying with the 118th Recon Squadron, 23rd FG flying P-51Ds over Shanghai. There are no other victories reported.

Does anyone know of any other claims?

Carlos
