Lt Andrew Marshall over Greece

ITALY - Lt. Andrew D. Marshall, pilot in a Negro Fighter Group of the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces had his plane shot up by flak during a strafing mission over Greece before the Allied invasion. When he came down all that was left of the plane was his engine and himself. But he only suffered some bruises and cuts. Greeks hid him from the Nazis, then directed him to the British forces when they parachuted into Greece. Lt. Marshall is from Bristol, Virginia.
