Stanford Tuck and 257 Squadron
Hi,
Can anyone clear up the "missing" days between 29 August 1940 when Tuck left 92 Sq at Pembrey ( after being wounded on the 25th) and September 9th when he joined 257 Sq.
According to the "boys own" version in "Fly for Your Life" he arrived as C/O, also in "Churchill's Few", but other accounts state he was posted in together with Peter Brothers as a Flight Commander and did not take over as C/O until the 11th.
Was he on sick leave from 29th Aug until 9 Sept ?
Seems like a new biography of Tuck would be very useful.
Cheers
Bruce Lander
