Notes

MACR No. 12540

2/Lt. Dudley M. Amoss  reported: "I was flying in the vicinity just west of Nuremberg, escorting Lt. Koenig to friendly lines, when I heard Lt. Sill call on his radio. He said that he had been hit and his oil pressure was zero.  He said he was going to bail out.  As I did not know his exact position, I could not help him at all.""

Lt. Sill had been hit by flak on a fighter sweep to Nuremberg, Germany.  German J 3023 reported a P-51, crashed and burned, pilot, 1/Lt. Robert L. Sill, dead.  He is now buried at Fort Dodge, Iowa.
