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).
