The French seem to think so, Bill was awarded the French Legion of Honor in 2009.Great story - but did it actually happen?
The lack of records does not necessarily mean it did not happen.Total fabrication. Which is a shame because Bill Overstreet was one of the nicest people you'd ever meet.
NO DATE.
Despite his assertion, no witnesses have come forward and
WHERE DID THE 109 CRASH?
He never claimed a victory over Paris (nor France for that matter) and therefore never filed a relevant combat report.
All his 2 1/4 victories were claimed over Germany: Hanover, Leipzig, Merseberg.
According to other 357th FG pilots, Bill never mentioned the episode during the war.
