Parsonson was briefed to lead "A" Flight on an interdiction mission against a railroad yard at YC4394. En route his No.4 reported that he had engine problems, so Lt Parsonson ordered him to return to base, escorted by the No.3 aircraft. He then requested permission for his two remaining aircraft to join another flight, led by Major Lyon, who were en route to the same target. This was granted. All six aircraft attacked their primary target with bombs, and proceeded to their secondary target north east of Kumsong. This they attacked with rockets and machine guns. Lt Parsonson, flying in the No.5 position, reported that he had been hit, and was instructed to fly south. However, before he could reach friendly lines he reported that his aircraft was on fire and shortly after that he crashed. The flight searched the area for his parachute or any sign of life without success. ref. 85 years of SAAF . . YES

Killed in action, in North American F-51 Mustang #316. Four aircraft, piloted by Lt Marshall, Major L.B. Pearce, 2Lt Howe and Lt Parker were on a ferry flight between K-10 and K-16, in poor weather. Lt Marshall informed his flight to fly VFR or return to K-10 if unable to do so. Abreast of Masan they encountered a rainstorm but were unable to turn around because of the closeness of the mountains. Lt Marshall instructed his flight to climb through the overcast, which they proceeded to do. At 4500 feet altitude Major Pearce was seen to be having difficulty maintaining formation, and he abruptly disappeared. He was then sighted again, and ordered to climb above the overcast. Lt Marshall and the other two pilots reached clear sky at 8000 feet, but Major Pearce did not appear, and failed to respond to R/T calls. The wreckage of his aircraft was subsequently found 15 miles north of K-10. It appeared to have hit the ground under power. ref. 85 years of SAAF . . YES
