S/Sgt James T. Smith - L-4 pilot - Italy 1943
I refer to an earlier thread: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...t=52761&page=2
Both in Wakefield's book as in the Field Artillery Journal (May 1944) it is written that not only S/Sgt James T. Smith Jr was killed in the collision with the German fighter, but also his "technician" (..neither American survived the crash"..) Wakefield speaks of an observer. Has the name of this other occupant ever emerged? S/Sgt Smith was in the 3rd Infantry Division, 10th FA Batalion. Thanks for info. Regards, Leendert |
