Re: I.D. for Wildcat flown by Digby Cosh, 881 Sqn, April 1944 against Tirpitz?

They would be Mk.Vs.

examples are JV392 5H, JV389 5F, JV373 5S (definitely not the one you want), JV356 5A, JV374 5G, JV375 5O, .... I can find others but which is your man's? Unless he did something significant in it (such as a crashlanding), his name won't be mentioned.

It is likely (certain) that he flew more than one aircraft during his time with the unit, although possibly just the ones belonging to his flight.
