MACR 9246 - Statement from Willard G. Erfkamp 2nd Lt., Air Corps:



"Lt. Loucks was flying #4 Position in Yellow Flight, I was #3 man. When we sighted the FW 190's attacking the bombers, we dropped our tanks and went into the fight. I saw Lt. Loucks drop his tanks end checked again to see that he was with me when we were on our way in to attack. After the first pass [on] a FW 190, I looked around for him but he wasn't there. I never saw him again. After the fight I heard him call in and report that he was at 5,000 feet on a heading of due west with a dead engine. He said he was going to ride it a little further and then get out. He was not heard on the radio after that."
