Re: 411.Squadron the 7.May 1944

This could mean just the leader of the flight involved. By mid 1944 RCAF fighter squadrons were operated in various sizes, from squadron strength down to units of 4. The flight leader would just be the senior pilot in the group, and could have been any of the more experienced pilots.

Maybe someone on the Forum has access to the 411 Squadron ORB? This might have the details you need.
