Re: Hurricane Z4932 lost ME 1941

Hi Larry and other interested parties

We are making progress! Hopefully!

Regarding Z4932/OL-B Kiwi (the one in the Chris Shores' picture). According to the RNFS ORB, nothing happened on 15/1/42; however, nothing of interest to our quest occurred on 25/1/42 either, although Hurricanes of RNAS were probably in action during which pilots of II/JG27 claimed four 'P.40s', all falling in Axis territory, two being credited to Obfw Otto Schultz. There were no P.40 losses, but Shores' caption to the photograph states that OL-B was a victim of Otto Schultz!!

Clear as mud?

Secondly, has anyone a book written by Don Nairn (Gold Wings and Webbed Feet), who was a NZ pilot with RNAS but flying Martlets?
Just speculation, but might he have been the pilot on board Hurricane OL-B/Kiwi?

Ever hopeful!

Cheers
Brian
