Gents :
On Tuesday I will be interviewing local 353rd fighter group pilot D.E. Harris. Del flew withn then fighter group from it's start in 43 through the fall months chasing down 2 Bf 110G-2's in aerial combat, then flew numerous air protection flights for US bombers as well as strafing raids on corssroads and German airfields. He and his wingman were shot down on their last strafing runs over the Normandy area in June of 44, where Del became a POW. I am going to have a lengthy interview which may take several days, and am opeing this up to the forum members if they would like to ask any questions through me to him.....?
He flew a P-47D Razorback during his career and while in June the unit received the newer bubble top machines Del kept his older one.
