Hello,

I look for a Photo of 2.Lt. Ernest M. Parham
(361 FS / 356 FG) or his P-47D, S.n. 42-76126, Markings QI-O.

He was shoot down in my home area about 1200 Meters from my house at the 11th of April 1944.

I know the MACR 3755.

Many thanks for any information.

Rüdiger,

Lt Ernest Parham apparently KIA.
He's not listed (anymore) on the MIA lists of http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo/

Hello Leendert,

many thanks for your answer.
It is also a little confusion for me.
Some sources wrote he is MIA and some KIA.
I wrote the last week to the ABMC.gov and ask for it.

Best wishes to Belgium

Hi Ruediger !

2nd Lt. Ernest M. Parham, AAF s/n O-686767 was KIA. Postwar, he was interred to Margraten (NL) U.S. military cemetary. His remains are now resting at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetary, San Antonio, TX.

So, this plot is not listed MIA but KIA.

Hope, this helps,
