Pilot names from 3 Squadron 43/44
 

I have been going though Aces High Vol II (Vol 1 is on the way)

and I ran into a few pilots that they only list the last names

any idea on what there first names were or how I can find them ?

D. J. Mackerras
H.J. Bailey
H.R. Wingate
L.G. Everson
M.F. Edwards
J.K. Foster
R.W. Pottinger

and we got Lefty Whitman

all of them looked to be decent V-1 hunters, but I not finding what there first names were ?

Hi Ron

My new book DIVER DIVER DIVER comes out shortly, which will list all known Diver kills by RAF and USAAF pilots. Just thought I'd plug it while I had the opportunity!!

In the meantime, some of the names you require are: Donald MacKerras, Hughbert Bailey, Malcolm Edwards, Ron Pottinger and George Whitman.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Brian
