Thanks, I should have mentioned that it was one of two PV-1 from No.1 Sqn RNZAF. One of these crews claimed two destroyed Zeros and there were claims for damaged Zeros by both crews. In the official RNZAF history the claim for two destroyed was increased to three. It seems that it took some time before the third was added an my guess is that it was based on information from another unit (US) that took some time to reach RNZAF. Therefore was I interested to see if the Diary of VMF-223 had anything to add.
