1st Lt Robert Parker in flight gear
On November 15, 1943 took off piloting P-40N Warhawk 42-105509 on a patrol mission encountered a formation of enemy fighters. During the air combat, West claimed to shoot down a "Zero" [Ki-43 Oscar] off the tail of Parker's P-40, then Parker made a diving turn and shot a Zero off the West's tail and claimed a fighter shot down. Pulling up towards another, this P-40 collided with a "Zero" [sic Ki-43-II Oscar] tearing off the wing and causing the P-40 it to spin towards the ground north of Sagarak near Kaiapit and went Missing In Action (MIA).
