Lt. Hutchison of 94th Fighter Squadron
Looking for information about what happened to that pilot. His correct name may be James H. HutchiNson? He was on a Photo Reconnaissance mission to Prague on January 21st, 1944 and was hit by flak. He bailed out and maybe got POW.
He flew an escort P-38 for the F-5 of Lt. Lewitt of 32nd PRS. Looking for any details about that mission. Thanks for any help! Kurtl |

Re: Lt. Hutchison of 94th Fighter Squadron
21 Jan 45
http://www.1stfighter.org/history/1945.html On a photo recon mission over Stuttgart, Flight Officer Thomas R. Graffam, a 94th pilot, was shot down on his first or second mission by anti-aircraft gunfire. Damaged initially, on the return back he was hit again near Venice. His plane went down in the Adriatic and F/O Graffam died swimming with his chute (Germans were approaching). On the same mission, Lt James H. Hutchinson, Jr. from the 94th and Lt Robert Carrothers, 27th FS, were reported missing in action. The group ceased flying local combat missions until Operation ARGONAUT was completed MACR# 11748 A/Craft P-38L Ser.# 44-25039 Lt James H. Hutchinson, Jr, MIA, Prague, Czech Kind regards Ross |
