Re: Albacore in Egypt, 1942

Hi Sergey

I have the log books of Donald Judd, who flew Albacores in Egypt with 826 Squadron in 1941 and 1942. Missions included flare dropping and dive-bombing. Helpfully, Judd wrote an autobiography, which includes this period, and is available on eBay UK at very low cost - ‘Avenger from the Sky’ by Donald Judd was published in 1985.

I have found little else to help my research in this period, although I have log books to a pilot with 108 Squadron. The 108 Squadron ORB for 1942 refers to illumination by Albacores on a few occasions but does not mention which squadron(s) they were from.
