Spitfire Revisited

I started a thread here some years ago about an alleged American or Canadian Spitfire pilot who visited our town in the Scottish Borders several years running to visit the location of a crash or forced landing he had during the war. It raised some great discussion and involved a lot of research, but hit brick walls every time. There was an element if mystery about it. No one could really make a proper connection between a US Pilot and a UK Spitfire.

The basic story can be found here on the first post Spitfire crash landing in Scotland WW11
A couple of days ago, someone sent me a link to this YouTube video which puts both elements together US pilot and Spitfire.
It set me wondering all over again.

A possibility, or barking up the wrong tree ?


Any input would of course be welcome !
