Re: Looking for information on 805 FAA Squadron's Wildcats.

The history of these aircraft is confused, but by combining the histories in Sturtivant's A/c of the FAA in WW2 I have the following:

3875 - K - possibly AX733
3876 - H - possibly AX746
3895 - shot down S.79 28/12/41, then shot down by another S/L R. Griffin killed.
AX728 -A
AX730 - L
AX733 - K
AX734 - P
AX735 - X
AX736 - P,X
AX739 - G
AX740 - J
AX744 - D
AX746 - H

A/c C shot down a G-50 28/9/41
3 a/c shared kill of Ju88 28/2/42
2 a/c shared 2xS.79 25/7/42

There are a number of other claims of damaged enemy aircraft to unspecified 805 Martlets.
