article mentioning West African Spitfire Pilot

[DavidIsby]

I am looking for references about one of the few West African Spitfire pilots. This guy, showing commendable zeal but lousy signals discipline, used to announce himself when he crossed the enemy coast for the benefit of the German Y-Service equivalent: "Achtung! Der Schwarz Prinz Verkommt"!

I read an article which referred to this individual back in September 2001. I read it in the US Department of Defense library in the Pentagon. I did not make a copy or write down a proper citation because there was a queue at the photo copier and I had to get back to my office. Besides, I would come back to the library the next week and make a copy then.

Well, the next week, before I could get back to the library, some very evil people flew an airplane into the building. It was a long time before the library was again operational. By that time, I had forgotten this article.

Can anyone help a disorganized alleged researcher?

thanks,
