[Col Bruggy]

Hello,

Yes, I'm willing to admit the source I used is somewhat dated (and unreliable). I did check several other sources:

1/ Frank Olynyk's , USAAF (European Theater) Credits.(same author's, Stars & Bars).
2/ Kent Miller's, Fighter Units & Pilots of the 8th Air Force. Vol.2.
3/ Spitfire:The History, Morgan & Shacklady.
4/ A-B's RAF Aircraft AA100 to AZ999.

All quoted the date as 21 November, 1942.

I opted for Fry & Ethell. Seemingly, they are wrong, and so am I. Apologies!

Col.
