(Lt) Crawford Kenneth L | |||
On 11 September 1944, Lt. Crawford
was flying my wing when we became engaged with a number of Me 109's. We
broke into two Jerries that were making a pass at our squadron. In the
chase that followed I observed Lt. Crawford getting many hits on one of
the E/A and eventually the pilot baled out of his ship and the plane crashed.
After this we spotted two more 109's below us which we attacked, and in
the fight that developed from this bounce my wingman and I split up. Lt.
Crawford did not return. In his behalf, I wish to claim one Me 109 destroyed
as the result of the combat.
