Re: 485 Squadron, Channel Dash, 12 February 1942
Thanks chaps, Francis seems to be a bit of a puzzle. AH indicates he claimed a kill but that it may have been downgraded to a probable. The Fw190 dived away "smoking" which seems to indicate a bit of uncertainty. His DFC citation claims he had made three claims in the period 1941-42, although it seems perhaps only the one on 12 February was confirmed as destroyed officially.
