Re: Aerial victories by RAF Boston pilots

Hi Keith,

Had a quick look at my notes and found no claim by RAF pilots but one involving a SAAF piIot.

ORB of 24 Sqn SAAF:
26/10/42, over target at 10.54
4 Me.109F’s made frontal attack on formation and Major Spencer opened fire with front guns firing 400 rounds into enemy aircraft, obviously hitting it. As the enemy aircraft shot past F/Lt Duncan also opened fire with rear guns, firing 300 rounds. The enemy aircraft then went down in flames over target area.

Will have a closer look at the combat reports of 2 Group RAF later.

Regards,
Peter
