Thank you for any help.

Apparently, he ejected but was subsequently drowned in the cold water

anyone that might have served with him during his career, offering more
information about a man that committed his whole life to service until his
untimely death at the age of 28. He also flew 101 combat missions in the
P-47 Thunderbolt during WW-II in the European theater. He worked at
Wright-Patterson AFB for years and was recalled to serve during Korea

He was hit by AA fire on his 77th mission while skip-bombing RR tunnel, and due to previously having ejected F80(and almost not surviving)did not bail out, but pulled up to limits of service ceiling and wing fire went out.

During this period the 35th published a book about the exploits of this unit from June 1950 thru Dec 5, 1950. My Uncle donated his book to 35th Museum in Pennsylvania back years ago with the understanding they would copy it and return it----which they never did. He is looking for a copy of this book.

Comments: This comment, pertains to my previous Message No. 37589; Posted: 2003-10-15 @ 10:08:39.
While surfing the net this morning; I noticed, in an article, by Diego Zampini - Entitled: "Russian Aces Over Korea," Russian Ace LEV KIRILOVICH SHCHUHIN, a MIG-15 pilot with 17 Air Victories -was credited with the kill of Lou Esposito on the date that Lou was listed as KIA! As I have mentioned previously; I was on that same Air-To-Ground mission with Lou - and, when most of us had retured to base, we were advised - by members of his flight, that Lou was on a shallow dive, at low altitude - on a strafe or bomb delivery pass, against a ground target - when he obtained a direct hit from anti-aircraft fire [Ground Fire] and was destroyed! I can still remember his best friend "Eddy" - going somewhat berserk - as we gathered for our "Intelligence Critique" after the mission, when Lou's Flight Members explained what they had observed - stating that: "Lou would not be coming home!"
