Re: rcaf p-40 crash 2nd october 1942

Hello Jerry,

Good that you have tha details of pilot and aircraft .
Interestingly I checked AK952 out in the revised AB serial book and found that ALL the RCAF Kittyhawk I's in the AK range are listed with NO previous history, just - To RCAF as 10##, followed by a date. In AL952's case To RCAF as 1060, 28.1.42.
So I expect that the earlier reference to North Africa and being shot down by an ace is in error. Stone was a pilot with 450 Sqdn AK958, AL106 and AL117 all 450 Sqdn a/c were lost on the 13/06/42 and AK949 of 112 Sqdn was also lost on this day.
