air combat 11 July 1945 - 08/15/2006 06:20:42 PM
Today I learnt that FO Tomas W Weaver of the 26th FS, 51st FG (MR: A0729/1042-3) shot down an Ki-43 'Oscar' of the 64th Sentai at 13:10 on 11 July 1945. Weaver also claimed another as 'Oscar' damaged. On the same mission a third 'Oscar' was claimed damaged by Capt William J Posvic from the same unit. The location of the claims was over Vinh A/F, French Indo-China.

Does anybody have more info on this air battle? I am in particular looking for the serial numbers and marking of the aircraft involved. Any details on the engagement itself are more than welcome. (Where would I be able to find encounter reports?)

Also, are any of the pilots mentioned still with us today?

Many thanks in advance!
