Re: Spitfire IX units in Italy, October-November 1944.?

Hello,

Spitfire V ER490 of No.253 Sqn., was abandoned off Peljesac on 17 Ocotber, 1944, when it developed a glycol leak (130926 F/O Maurice William SMYTH RAFVR [later DFC]). Smyth had been hit by enemy ground fire whilst strafing M/T, he baled out and later evaded.

Col.
