Same action, different story!

Quoting from Steve Birdsalls ‘Flying Buccaneers’ the illustrated story of Kenney’s Fifth Air Force. Sub heading – ‘The Flying Undertaker’ On January 11 1945 two Mustangs from the 82nd Tactical Recon Squadron left Mindoro to check over the Japanese airdromes on northern Luzon. They never got as far as their primary target, because Captain William Shomo and his wingman, Lieutenant Paul Lipscomb, spotted a Betty bomber with an escort of eleven Tonys and a Tojo about two thousand feet above them. Shomo climbed from five hundred feet, with Lipscomb on his wing.
In his first attack Shomo hit the leader and the wingman of the trailing element of fighters and both Tonys exploded. The Japanese fighters did not break up or try to fight during the first pass, evidently mistaking the F-6s for friendly fighters- the pilot of the second Tony opened his canopy and stood up, waving his arm, and other aircrafthad waggled their wings.
Cutting back in, Shomo blasted another fighter and it went down in flames. Then the Japanese broke up into pairs,but seemed confused about what to do. Shomo blew up a fourth Tony and saw that the Betty was trying to dive away and escape. Shomo flew his Mustang down below it and fired up into the belly of the bomber. It began to burn and glided down towards a field, the Japanese pilot trying to line up for a belly landing. Just above the field the bomber erupted. Shomo was so close that his Mustang lurched, and bits and piecesof the Betty pelted his plane.
Shomo climbed sharply again, and the Tojo fired a deflection shot at him on the way up. Pulling the F-6 into a tight turn Shomo watched the Tojo skid under his Mustang and disappear into a cloud layer. Heading for two of the remaining fighters, Shomo shot down one from behind and the other tried to get away. Shomo dived a hundred feet and caught the last of his seven victims.
The sky was clear. There was only Lipscomb’s Mustang up higher, and he had disposed of three of the Tonys in his first combat.
William Shomo was awarded the Medal of Honor. Before the war Shomo was a licensed embalmer!
