Good afternoon,
currently, I'm reading "
Sunderland Squadrons of World War 2" by Jon Lake. Intriguingly, the Sunderland crew of
Frank Phillips shot down a Junkers Ju 88 on 3Apr1940 and 'convinced' 11 more to retreat. Furthermore, the Sunderland crew of
Hugh Birch set alight a Messerschmitt Bf 110 on 15Jul1940 and drove off 4 more.
Colin Walker and his crew even scored 3 destroyed and 2 damaged in a dramatic fight on 2Jun1943:

The most highly decorated Sunderland pilot is
Les Baveystock DSO DFC DFM who destroyed two submarines.
Have a good weekend,
Michael
