Re: Patrick O'Byrne GCI/4
...meant to add that his picture was published by Chris Ehrengardt in his 'Pilotes de chasse' tome - tall, thick-set chap, big bushy eyebrows - typical Breton if you ask me..haven't got the book to hand so don't recall what the caption says..
..credited with a Swordfish on 25 Sept 1940 in the aforementioned tome - a photocopied 'compte rendu d'engagement' for the action states that after O'Bryne's first burst from the rear 3/4 and another from ' plein travers', his machine guns jammed and that the Swordfish continued to take evasive action pursued by O'Bryne's wingmen capitaine Gauthrin and lieutenant Minot before it was lost from view...
