By the way my sources are the Hanson biography; the ship bio "Send Her Victorious"(bought when I was a child); the British Pacific Fleet war diary, various BPF books, biographies of Atkinson and Sheppard online, the IWM taped interview of Bigg-Withers...Barret Tillmans history of the Hellcat and Corsair, David Browns Seafire history, in fact anything I could find on the BPF over the last twenty-something years...this sounds much sadder than it should. In truth I despair of the lack of precise information on this exotic and successful formation.
