Re: FAA Corsair Squadrons. claims
Bruce & Keith,
Concerning the Bigg-Wither claim, as Keith points out, the BPF did not operate any aircraft on the 29th (per Hobbs). Air strikes and CAPs were launched on both the 28th and 30th. The latter date is the likely one for Bigg-Wither's kill as, according to Hobbs, on that day "... 130 CAP sorties were flown, from which fighters shot down a Japanese shadowing aircraft ..." No further details are given. This is the only air claim mentioned for either day.
Regards,
Tom
