Photographs of two RAF fighter pilots

[Andrew Arthy]

Hi,

I’m having an article published later this year about two Australian fighter pilots serving in the Royal Air Force:

- Barry E. Gale served with 111 Squadron in 1942 and 1943, and then with 165 Squadron in 1944 and 1945, eventually commanding that unit.

- Harold D. Christian served with 111 Squadron from November 1941 until his death in Tunisia in December 1942.

I’ve collected most of the necessary information for the article, but would really like to find some photographs of these two men. So far I’ve found three shots of Barry Gale in the Australian War Memorial database.

I’d also like to include a couple of general shots of 111 Squadron, especially from its time in England in 1942, and in Algeria and Tunisia in 1942 and 1943. A photograph of a 165 Squadron Spitfire or Mustang from 1944 or 1945 would also be great.

Any help would be appreciated. Please contact me via email: bookie190@hotmail.com


Cheers,
Andrew A.
