Flt.Sgt. "Jock"McLuckie 60 Sqn. - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

hanshauprich · #1 19th March 2010, 10:35

McLuckie (the name is more then selfspeaked!!!!) was the air-gunner in an Blenheim IV (No. 60 Sqn.) On 22. May 1942 he was able to shoot down 3 JAAF Fighters Ki-43 "Oscar" in one dogfight with his single .303 Vickers "K" gun.

Two of his victims where JAAF Aces:
Sgt.-Major Yoshito Yasuda with 10 kills
Lt.-Col. Tateo Kato with 18 kills (KIA)

My questions:
Are their phots from Flt. Sgt.McLucie?
Photos from the Blenheim IV?
Did he survied the war?

Are their other dogfights (generally) that an air-gunner shoot down more then one enemy Fighter Ace in one battle?

Thanks

Hi,

a snapshot of McLuckie is in Bloody Shambles Pt.II by Shores et al. Nothing on his subsequent fate nor is there a picture of the Blenheim..
