Re: J.E. Johnson - Pre-D-Day dive bombing?
The shoot-down and rescue of FO John Marriott, RCAF, 442 Squadron described in Johnson's chapter 13, took place on 13 May, according to Capt Grant MacDonald and Capt Terry Stocel, 442 SQUADRON HISTORY, 1987, p. 30. and Christopher Shores and Chris Thomas 2ND TACTICAL AIR FORCE, v. 1, Spartan to Normandy, June 1943 to June 1944, p. 107.
Anyone have easy access to the 442 Squadron and/or 144 Wing ORB entries?
