We'll see this monkey celebrated and hailed as a hero for the next six months, mark my words. Couldn't even keep it's shit together for a simple recon mission in very late '44.
The possible remains of a Tuskegee Airman lost in action during WWII have been discovered in the Alps.
A crash site near Hohenthurn, Austria is believed to be the location where Capt. Lawrence E. Dickson crashed his P-51 Mustang on December 23, 1944 during a reconnaissance mission.
Twenty-seven Tuskegee Airmen went missing in action during the war.
And just in case anyone tries the old 'he died fightin dat Nazi' bullshit,
A few days before Christmas 1944, he was tasked with leading a three-Mustang escort of a faster but unarmed P-38 Lightening photo reconnaissance plane into Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.
Dickson's plane, which he had nicknamed 'Peggin', developed engine trouble on the way into enemy territory, and he radioed his wingmen.
I didn't know they had 27 MIA's. I did a little quick maff. 27 MIA's + 66 KIA's = 93 out of 450 sent overseas. So, losses/missing of 20.6%. Statistically, that's enormous. Oh, and another 32 were POW's. That takes it to 27.7%. That's a huge amount of fuckery, seeing how late they actually came into the war, which ended in May of '45. Seriously, by this time, the fucking Luftwaffe was a literal shambles.
