Re: Combat Reports

This site is interesting...

The 12 April 1944 report shown for 1st Lt. Charles F. Anderson Jr. (9 aerial victories) who flew North American P-51B 43-7181 WD-L "Hell’s Belle" (335th Squadron - 4th Fighter Group "The Eagles" - 8th AF) was place one week before he was KIA (April 19, 1944).

Re: Combat Reports

Good find, Warhawk,

I read some of the after action reports and will go back to them

One observation which I must mention is that it seems that many of the USAF pilots seem to have picked up, and put into use, much of the contemporary RAF jargon, and also modes of expression.

I wonder, was this the influence of movies, media, cross-fertilisation, listening to the BBC, reading British Comic-Books, chatting in pubs, listening to the RAF R.T. chat, or what? This is a real mystery and revalation. Wartime USAF pilots are never characterised in this fashion in movies!

Any ideas?

MoMo
