Col. Cy Wilson's P-38, which took a cannon hit in the winshield during a strafing run.
Chet Hallberg recounted that, even though Wilson was showered
with pulverized plexiglass he refused to turn back for base until he
got the last remaining truck in the convoy they were strafing. He brought the plane home safely
but, upon landing his eyes looked like "two red, cherry tomatoes."
The aircraft was later ditched on 16 July, 1944 by Lt. Klink.
