On 14th January 1944, Dominic Salvatore ‘Don’ Gentile led a flight of the 336th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group from Debden airfield on a fighter sweep over France. On this day he shot down 2 enemy fighters and was involved in a near death dogfight as he duelled two more enemy aircraft famously calling ‘Help I'm being clobbered! If I don't make it back tell them I got two!’ Gentile remains the highest scoring pilot of 4th Fighter Group USAAF in WWII.
Thanks to Henry Lamshed for the improved audio!
