Good evening to all:
Trying to figure out the last air to air claim over the Philippines probably in January1945, what to confirm if it was on 29 January 1945 with a P-40 of the 110th RS? .
Any comments welcome
Thx
Happy Holidays to all

In my incomplete USAAF claim file, I have 6 claims over the Philippines for February and March 1945:

In my file, the kill on 29 January 1945 by 110th TRS is a Zeke claimed at 0810 hrs over Mamparing Mountains, Philippines by 2nd Lt Robert L Hammond (his first and only victory of the war). It may be the last victory claimed against a fighter over the Philippines.
