Re: New Zealanders who flew P-51D Mustangs in WWII
Not much help Dave
Natta was flying KH674 when he collided with F/Lt J. Davidson in KH818 and both crashed into sea
According to Errol Martin and his book For your tomorrow vol 3, 16 RNZAF pilots were lost on airborne operations in Mustangs, 15 killed and 1 made PoW. They are all most probably listed in said book under their names but unfortunately NOT in aircraft order, so it is a sort of "needle-in-the-haystack" search. But if you are interested in the fate of RNZAF pilots, it is a great work of both respect and admiration for those from his home country who lost their lifes during 20th century. Natta is in there of course!! The only drawback with Vol 3 is that to be able to get the serial number of any loss you have to crosscheck the dates in vol 1 and 2. All three volumes however are well worth having.
Cheers
