Re: Spitfire VcT 04.05.1944. Doli (Croatia) W/O Stenning

Drew,

Thanks for the added details and the code for EF750. This is indeed an enigma and without further sources will probably remain so. If Ian of Adelaide (aka Aussie7) is out there perhaps he can let us know where his info on that 7 April claim came from.

Russell,

I wouldn't be too quick about changing the entry for this claim found in MAW4. My reading of the Form 540 is that the claim was indeed on the morning mission involving 6 Spit. Vs led by Watson. The first two lines on the entry for 7 April refer to this mission, while the next four refer to the p.m. bomber escort. The wording seems to indicate that Watson was solely responsible for the claim.

Regards,
Tom
