MACR is 4434.     Plane:  43-12383       P-51B
 
Kallas   (0-694251)  was part of an escort group of fighters escorting a raid to Berlin.
He was shot down about 11:30 by an M09 that had dived down from about 30,000 feet into the fighter 
formation.  Part of the formation broke but the  ME-109  continued toward a leading element, came in behind Kallas, who was flying as wingman to a Lt Davis and shot Kallas down.  It appears  Kallas was found dead in the crash. The plane was 97% destroyed.
