F/Sgt Charles McCormac's rescue by RAAF Catalina 16/9/42

Hi guys

Charles McCormac described his incredible adventures following his escape from Singapore in his book "You'll Die in Singapore".

After six months on the run, he and a companion were plucked from the coast of Sumatra by an RAAF Catalina and flown to Darwin, on 16 September 1942.
I understand that the Catalina was on a supply delivery run.

Do we know that name of the Catalina pilot?

How often were such missions flown to Sumatra (and Java?)


Cheers
Brian
