4th March 1944: 5th AF/RAAF claims
I'm trying to sort out the claims/credits on this date. This is what I have thus far:
35th FG Maj William F McDonough: Ki-61 destroyed; 1130 Gusap Capt Frederick C Harries: e/a destroyed; time/location ? 40th FS 1stLt William H Strand: Ki-43 damaged; Wewak area 41st FS 2ndLt Paul L Lorick: e/a destroyed; time/location ? 1stLt Edward S Park: e/a destroyed; ditto 75 Sqn RAAF S/L Colin W Lindeman & F/Sgt Alfred E Stuart: Ki-43 damaged (upgraded to destroyed ?); 1145 south of But Eric Hammel (Air War Pacific Chronology) indicates two Japanese fighters were claimed destroyed in the Wewak area at 1115, and another two over the Bogadjim road at 1220, plus McDonough's claim. However, USAF Historical Study No 85 lists four credits for this date in SWPA. Any constructive input welcome. Cheers, Bruce |
