Escape from Cape Moem
by
Jack Fellows
Lt Robert M. DeHaven, 7th Fighter Squadron, 49th Fighter Group,
leaves Cape Moem with his P-40N at maximum throttle during a ferocious
air battle over the Japanese airfields of the wewak base complex on
the north coast of New Guinea, 23 January, 1944. It is believed that
Capt. Shigeo Nango, executive officer of the 59th Sentai, a 15 victory
ace and one of the most outstanding fighter pilot in the theater, fell
victim to DeHaven, this Ki-43 "Oscar" was Dehaven's eighth
confirmed victory, a score which ultimately reached fourteen.
Signed by Lt. Robert M. DeHaven and the artist.
