Capt. Winder said.
The Lightning pilot, 1t. Christie
pher A. Squire, 1643 Connecticut
avenue NV, bagged his first Jap
plane and also damaged second in
a dogfight east of Negros Island in
the Philippines.
1t. Squire was on fighter sweep
when he spotted the Jap ship. AT
1000 feet, as the Jap made sharp
right turn, he got him. After the
Jap's left wing caught on fire, the
whole plane burst into flames and
crashed. Then, while returning over
Negros Island, 1t, Squire and his
friend sighted 10 Zeros on their own
level and climbed to attack.
I'VE each picked out one Nip and
followed him." 1t. Squire said.
"At 200 feet I opened up. Black
smoke came from his engine and
he pulled into a vertical spiral. -Four
Zeros were on my tail so l started
for home. 1 dived 5000 feet over
Negros and lost my pursuers. It
was the last time 1 saw Russell. He's
