Re: Stanley Orr

Hi Michael,

according to the book "806 Naval Air Squadron: The FAA's Top-Scoring Fighter Squadron of the Second World War" by B. Cull and F. Galea, 806 Sqn was credit with 87 enemy a/c destroyed and the list of top aces is the following:

1. Hogg 7+6 (9,6)
2. Sewell 6+8 (10)
4. Barnes 6+8 (9,6)
4. Orr 6+7 (9.33), including 1 shared with 804 Sqn in 1944.

Oddly, C. Shores in his book "Aces High" credited 806 Sqn with 35 victories.
