Re: Swordfish L2809/4G 820 Sqdn FAA

I thought I might add (Already told Kjell) that Sturtivant has the following in his Swordfish Story, from one Harry Simpson, about one of the earlier attacks in April: "For this attack the Swordfish were armed with four semi-armour-piercing 250-pounders on the man racks, with eight 25lb bombs on the light series racks. Because of the weight the crew consisted of two pilots with observers in the section leaders' aircraft and pilots with TAG's in the other aircraft."
