Re: 24/08/42:RAAF 75°and 76°Sq vs Zeros
76 Sqn claims on the 24/8/42:
F/Lt Clive Newton Wawn (400163): two fighters probably destroyed
F/Lt Vernon Francis Wilfred Sullivan (2172): one fighter damaged
Sgt Ross Huggins Glassop (403921): ditto
Sgt Robert Alexander Gray (402160): ditto
TOTAL: 0/2/3
From 'The Decisive Factor', p 202
The squadron history sheets differ slightly, crediting Sullivan and Glassop with a shared damaged.
For the trivia buffs, Ross Glassop was the future stepfather of Michael Hutchence (INXS).
