Hi,

 

Set a pilot of B-26 "Marauders" and Douglas A-20 "Havoc" named "The Jersey Bounce" with more than 50 combat missions in the 15th Army Air Force in the Italian and southern France (MTO - Mediterranean Theatre Operation) and was shot and wounded twice during the War. The pilot was a member of the Caterpillar Club.

 

Any new information about the pilot are VERY WELCOME!!

Ricardo,

Your man was probably in the 12th AF and not the 15th AF. The 15th did not have B-26 or A-20 groups but the 12th AF did.

Thank you, Marty!

 

I was induced by the patch design in the pilot´s portrait painting.

If you can get a copy of the General Order for his Purple Heart, the number on the medal might be in it,
