Japanese made two claims, one by Sgt A. Kato and a second one by Cpls Yamaguchi, Ikeda, R.
Yamamoto and W. Niwa. According to Kato the bomber he was firing at suddenly swerved and hit a
second one, both going down; both Liberator crews killed (Pilots Wt Offs L.A. Barr and J. McKinnon).

43-28615
Lost on a mission from Yunnanyi, China to Uttaradit, Chiang Mai & Wai Lai Kam Bridge (pilot was
Franklin B. McKinney) [MACR 10057]
(Note: Quote from RTAF report “On Nov 5, 1944 at about 1340 hours during a rain storm, there was a
plane with 2 engines and 2 tails flying through the storm. Apparently, the plane was hit by lightning
strike. People on ground heard an explosion and saw a burning plane went down and crashed. The
location was at a wooden area in Ban Mae Gua, Sobprab Sub-district, Lampang province. Subsequent
investigation revealed the plane as a P-38, "NUMBER 811," with white star in dark blue circle marking.
A skull was also found in the wreck”. 43-28615 was designated by 35th PRS as #811)

Three P-51’s shot down whilst strafing Don Mueang on a mission from Cox’s Bazaar, India. 44-15302
crashed 3 miles west of Chao Phraya river; pilot Capt. Albert Abraham bailed out [MACR 13788]
(Note: parts of 44-15302 recovered 2010 by RTAF Museum)
Hit by small arms fire whilst on a reconnaissance mission and crashed approx. 12 miles north west of
Lampang airfield [18°25'N, 99°25'E]. Pilot 1st Lt. Theodore H. Demezas bailed out [MACR 14710]
(Note: Lt. Buntao Punsri operated a flak gun wagon at Lampang Station and claimed to have shot down a
P-38. The pilot, Demezas, bailed out successfully and, as RTAF was living a ‘double-life’ during the war,
the gunner tried to locate the pilot to render some help. However, the RTA was the first to reach the scene
and captured the pilot. Lt. Col. Sarit Tanarat, the army commander, sent Demezas to the Thai
underground, Thosd Panthumasen, at a sugar factory near Koh Ka. Apparently, Demezas was sent back to
his squadron sometime after the incident)

An account from Gary Craig, who was the Navigator, with my thanks:“We took off from Takhli, AB Thailand about 0500 to perform post-strike refuelling for fighters from
Udorn who were bombing in the "Plain of Jars" in Laos. We were not scheduled to fly that morning, but
were awakened when both the primary and backup aircraft experienced engine fires and aborted their
mission. We climbed to about 8,000 feet and experienced several mechanical problems including multiple
engine fires. The fire retardant did not extinguish the fires and we bailed out at approximately 086
Radial/ 32 nm from Takhli. The aircraft continued on autopilot and unfortunately crashed into a small
village NW of Takhli, killing all of the residents (17) of the village with the exception of the Chief who had
just left, but witnessed the crash.
I was taken prisoner by a group of primitive villagers wearing loin cloths and living in grass huts. They
had spears and blow guns. I was greatly outnumbered, so I tried to befriend them by giving them gifts of
everything I had on me. It seemed to work.
In a couple of hours, a rescue helicopter dropped down and I took off running, dove into the open door
and off we went. I didn't look back to see if they were throwing spears at me. I then directed the chopper
to pick up the five other crew members who were dispersed in the jungle. Everyone was okay and when

we landed, we celebrated hardily.
An inspection of all the KB-50J aircraft at the base revealed that the planes had been sabotaged by
cutting the fuel lines. Security had been very lax up to then.
Recognizing that the KB-50J was too old and too slow to refuel the current jet fighters, the aircraft and
the Squadron were decommissioned.”
