 Officially, the after-action report gave Captain Lanphier and his wingman First Lieutenant Rex T. Barber each half-credit for the kill.While the USAF did not reverse its 1991 decision giving half credit to each pilot, a retired lawyer / historian and state of Oregon politicians credit Barber with the sole kill.Lanphier's claim does not stand up to the accounts given by every other battle participant including American Lightning pilots Besby Holmes, Doug Canning and Rex Barber, and Japanese Zero pilot Kenji Yanagiya.
