Hi,
Which the name and rank of the pilot of a sharkmouthed Spitfire Mk. Vc MX*P (ER180), of 307th FS/31st FG, in La Senia, Algeria, November 1942? Thank's a lot! Franklin - from Brazil

Hi Franklin
In Dennis Kucera's 'In a Now Forgotten Sky', there is a photo of MX-P with Capt Arthur P. Holloway Jr of the 307thFS standing on the wing by the cockpit. Could it have been his aircraft? Cheers Brian

Hi Franklin
Capt Holloway was credited with one victory but I don't know the date. Of course, he may not been flying MX-P. Perhaps Frank Olynyk can help? Cheers Brian

Arthur P Holloway, Jr was credited with a Me-109 destroyed on April 28, 1943 between 1020 and 1130; the location given is J-8550. He was also credited with a one quarter share in a Me-109 probable on March 21, 1943, between 115 and 1515, location between T-7013 and Y-3492. I do not have the relevant maps to determine the location better.
Frank.

Just out of curiosity did Holloway complete his tour. If so on what date? Or did he become a casualty?
