Re: Combats off Le Havre AM 4 May 42
'No 72 Sqn's tally for the sweep was two Bf 109Fs destroyed by Australian Flt Lt Armstrong (W3429), one of them shared with New Zealander Plt Off Hardy (BL733), one Bf 109E destroyed by Plt Off Kitchen (AD513), and Plt Off Walters (BM384), another New Zealander, shared a Dornier Do 217 with the Biggin Hill station commander, Gp Capt Dickie Barwell (YO-B). Wg Cdr Rankin (AA945) also claimed one Bf 109F destroyed and another damaged. Adding to the wing's score, a sergeant pilot of 124 also destroyed an Fw 190.'
Swift to Battle, Tom Docherty; p. 190
It seems like the main contenders are Armstrong, Hardy, Kitchen and Rankin. Have you examined the combat reports for the above?
