Flight Officer Thomas Kiley - 364th FG USAAF
Can anyone help me with a couple of questions?
1. F/O Thomas W Kiley, 383FS, 364FG was killed in a flying accident on Feb 14 1945 at Potton in the UK. The aircraft he was flying is shown on the Accident Records as P-51B 42-106448. This was the former ride of Ace Henry Brown of 355th FG. Can anyone confirm this is correct?? 2. Does anybody have a photo or know of a photo of F/O Kiley or 42-106448?? Thanks Paul Johnson

Re: Flight Officer Thomas Kiley - 364th FG USAAF
This Mustang was indeed Brown's, then Marshall for two weeks then Priest for nearly a month - it seems to have been transferred out of the 354FS in early August, 1944 but not sure of destination, possibly directly to 364 as they were converting to Mustangs in late July
It is one of the highest scoring single aircraft as Brown got all of his scores in it prior to going home on leave in very early June, Marshall got his first on D-Day and I believe someone else got some ground scores on June 24. When Brown returned in late August he got Kinnard's 44-13305 when Kinnard went to 4th FG. |
