No wonder nobody gets it... I'm a real ass..VERY SORRY...

The answer is suppose to be Virgil Smith, who became the FIRST ACE on the P38's, but this pic is Erwin Ethell, who nearly became "ACE in a DAY" on 28 November 1942.

I'm very sorry for mixing up the pics, please forgive me...
I'll wait for the next question before I post question again.
Now I'm of to give myself some detention

What was the first combat victory by a US-built fighter in British service in World War II. Which plane where and what was the victim?

Well, it was on July 1st 1942 when the first Fort under the U.S. colours landed at Prestwick, Scotland. The First 12 were B17E's, which went to the 97th B.G. at Polebrook, England, but I'm blowed if I can remember the name of the first one!
Terry.
