NZ Air Gunner 255 Sqn
 

Can anyone confirm the name of Flt Lt R M Trousdale's NZ AG in 1941? Some records say Sgt F J W Chumm, the combat report says Sgt M J Chumm (or possibly Churm?)

There is a combat report for Sgt F J W Chunn at TNA Online.

The surname Chunn is confirmed in the NZTEC Official history:

Chris,

I have noticed that you have had several posts looking for information about Defiant air gunners. Might I ask what project you are working on?

Cheers,

Peter: My book 'The Luftwaffe's Blitz' will be out late Summer (it is with the publishers now). As per usual, I am trying to give full names to those aircrew mentioned hence my queries

Chris,
My focus is the claims made by New Zealand air gunners with the Fighter Command and this book is definitely on my "to buy list". A look at the other side and maybe a possibility to see if the claims were correct.
