Claims by 94 Sqn in the Nile Delta 1942

Hi Friends,

I am looking for information about claims made by 94 Sqn in the Nile Delta area during 1942. I have checked with the book Fighters Over the Desert: Air Battles in the Western Desert June 1940 to December 1942 by Shores/Ring. but there is little about 94 Sqn after the withdrawal from the Western Desert to the Nile Delta area.

I´m especially interested in claims by Montague J. Rowland, RNZAF (NZ401781) and Richard Webb, RNZAF (NZ391853).

According to No.485 (RNZAF) Squadron 1941-1945 by Phil Listemann/Paul Sortehaug Rowland claimed ”at least two victories with No.94 Sqn in Nile Delta area, 1942”. According to Those Other Eagles by Christopher Shores Webb destroyed a Ju 88 together with another pilot on 20 December 1942 NW Port Said (Spitfire Vc BR487) but he may have made more claims.

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Peter Hasselgren
