was flying Falcon Blue #3 in Lt Barger´s flight. Lt Wright was flying on my wing. We were being attacked by ME 109´s. I told this over the R/T to break and so did Lt Wright. I did not hear any reply t my transmission. Lt Wright and I broke into the E/A. I did not see or hear Lt Barger or Lt Christensen after the Break'.
Statement from Robert L. Harness, 1st Lt, AC. 354th Fighter Sq.
Lt Barger was never fully identified by Germans and post war three possible identities were matched for the crash at shooting range of Zelbst Airfield. Aircraft was totally destroyed so identification was not possible. He was buried at the Russian Cemetery Zerbst.
