[edit] Cause of crash

Wasn't he brought down by his propeller striking the ground on the last strafing run....not ground fire? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.106.82.137 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I researched your claims as I wasn't certain, and it appears that you are correct. According to USAF sites such as [1] and [2] Gabreski's plane seems to have struck the ground which caused his plane to crash. Neither mentions his plane being struck with enemy fire. I have edited the WWII section to reflect more of what these sources stated. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 19:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
