Hello Michel,
OK,

P40
41-19994 - 324FG - 316FS - MACR 47 - Dempsey.
41-14231 - 324FS - 316FS - MACR48 - Chalked.

However from what I understand none of the names you gave are connected to any of the above losses.
Wood was 8th July 43.

As was McHenry,
P40 41-13939 MACR 63.

Thanks

According to B.Cull and Cie (Spit over Sicily) four A-20 were lost and two A-36 (one belonging to 86°FBG??)

An Italian source (M.Mattioli) quotes the pilot parachuted from the P-40 "Brittle II" and the P-40 41-19736 (316°Fsq) severely damaged (Lt Buchanan) and scrapped (the 08/07 or 09/07 ?? it does not seem very clear!

For three of the 324th Fighter Group losses on July 9, 1943, the MACR's give Capt. Robert C. Dempsey as 11:00 hours, Capt. David E. Carpenter at 11:00 hours and Lt. Charles L. Chalker (not Chalked) at 0730 hours.
