January 1, 1945 Combat Log:
 
"I was flying white 2 on Colonel Meyer's wing.  We had just taken off when we were bounced by forty or fifty Me109's and FW190's.  One Me109 came at me head-on and we made several passes at each other, both of us firing.  On the third pass I got some strikes on his engine and shot part of the tail section away.  He started burning and went into a lazy spiral and crashed.  I claim one Me109 destroyed.
