Re: Plane Identification Unit Identifaction

The interesting thing about the plane I seek is that the white band is adjacent to the cross, like the one in the photo, and it has a horizontal bar in place of the wriggly marker ( do not know the proper name).

Everyone has indicated that this type of placement of the markings did not appear until about mid 1942. The photo I have was marked christmas 1941.

It was certainly must have been taken before March 1942 as my father who took the photo was back in Australia by April 1942. I have confirmed these dates by the official records.

I have possible identification of a number of pilots but the timeline does not match.

I find this very interesting but frustrating as I have been looking to identify the pilot for over 20 years.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Rick
