Actually, the last combat mission was flown by a photo unit of B-32 Dominators on August 18.

They were intercepted by 4 N1K George fighters, Photographer Staff Sergeant Joseph Lacharite was wounded in the legs (his recovery required several years). Sergeant Anthony Marchione, a photographer's assistant, helped Lacharite and then was fatally wounded himself.

Marchione was the last American to die in air combat in World War II.

My second cousin, who is still alive, flew B-32s in the closing weeks of the war. He transitioned out of B-24s. Many people, including some who work in aviation museums, have never even heard of the B-32.

The really weird but true story is how the Brits, French and Japanese all fought together in Vietnam against the Viet Minh from Sept 45 through Spring of 1946!
