Re: Spitfire V 52nd FG, 5th FS Tunisia
Hello,
Someone must know the details of "VF-U". Possible are these 5th FS North Africa losses. 02/18/43 - Lt. Thomas H. Evans - KIA. 02/22/43 - Lt. Johnny Kemp - injured. 04/01/43 - Lt. Edward Houghton - KIA. 04/06/43 - Lt. John S. White - MIA. 04/06/43 - Lt. Gilbert Montour - POW. 04/06/43 - Lt. John A. Carey - Rtd. 04/06/43 - Lt. John T. Jangle - Rtd. 04/07/43 - Lt. James A. Marshall - MIA. Alex

Re: Spitfire V 52nd FG, 5th FS Tunisia
Looking at the casualties of the 52nd FG 5th FS, it seems that it happened on April 6. Two of the casualties were reported have crash landed: 04/06/43 - Lt. John A. Carey - Rtd. and 04/06/43 - Lt. John T. Nangle - Rtd. One of these is probably the Spitfire in question.
