James Pearson, 2/Lt. Lewis William Prescott was KIA 22 April 1918 near Corbie. I don't find a corresponding German fighter claim to account for it. He was on an Bombing/Strafing mission at 19h40 (British time) when he went missing in SPAD XIII B'6857.

Anyone know if their were other claims - flak or two seat crews - that might match ?

As always, all assistance greatly appreciated.
