Re: Spitfire P8588 / Sgt A.G> Russell

Col,
Some confusion here.

I have P/O A G Russell with an FW 190 dam at Dieppe in BR567 with 124 Sqn.

F/L A G Russell with 1/0/1 FW 190 at Malta on May 21, 1943 with 229 Sqn.

F/L A G Russell with 0/1/2 Me 109s on July 7, 1944 with 132 Sqn.

You have two different A G Russells at Dieppe flying the same Spitfire.

I have no idea how many different A G Russells are involved here.

Chris,
I think you have it backwards. The 7 digit number would be his enlisted number, and a 5 or 6 digit number would be his commissioned number.

Enjoy!

Frank
