FEAF—A B‑32 from 386th Bomb Squadron, 312th Bombardment
Group suffered the last US aerial combat fatality of WWII. Four B‑32s were tasked for a photo reconnaissance
mission to Tokyo but mechanical issues scratched two aircraft. Japanese fighters intercepted the two
operational B‑32s, heavily damaging the Dominator, wounding the dorsal gunner
and photographer and killing Sergeant Anthony Marchione, a photographer's
assistant, the last American to die in air combat in World War II.
