Airmen fly, pay homage to fallen aviator
Army Air Corps 1st Lt. Robert McIntosh, 27th Fighter Squadron, was a fighter pilot during World War II whose plane, a P-38 Lightning, disappeared in Italy on May 12, 1944.
In September 2013, the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office (now DPAA) received information from private citizens regarding the partial excavation of a crash site in Santa Cristina, Italy. The citizens found evidence which confirmed this was McIntosh’s crash site.
McIntosh was honored on Sept. 29 with a flyover in Tipton, Indiana by a formation of F-22 Raptor fighter aircraft from the 27 Fighter Squadron, Langley AFB Va.
