Re: Fleet Air Arm action
Thank you Kaki3152 for the link.
And thank you, Keith, for the names of the Wildcat pilots. I read your data as Harrison and Moore splitting one credit and then one credit each to Bird, Harrison, and Womack. Is that correct?
So, three shot down and one damaged versus four claims for shoot downs and at least one damaged (Kaki3152's supplied link notes that Bird claimed a "damaged") . . . pretty close then, claims to actuals.
The London Gazette reports Womack and Bird being awarded the DSC; were Moore or Harrison similarly decorated?
My sincere thanks, again, to you both.
Elliott
