and Lt. Krohn flying as No. 3. Krohn temporarily aborted his take-off
due to a radiator defect and pulled off the runway. He was delayed ten
minutes in taking off, then tried to catch up with his flight. He was later
observed by two American flights, trying to catch up to join with his flight.
After his earlier flight had completed their bombing run he was heard to
say on the R/T that he was going in on the attack with the Americans. He
went in with an USAF flight and his bombs were seen to explode. The last
American off the target reported seeing a lone "Cheetah" Mustang
heading south, but nothing more was ever seen or heard of Lt. Krohn or
of his aircraft.
