VC-85 aerial victories
I am looking for details of this squadrons 11 aerial claims.
I know that one victory was credited to TBF pilot Ltjg Robert C Reilly. He claimed a Val dive bomber on 12 April 1945. On 5 January 1945 Ltjg Robert W Ramey claimed the squadron's first kill, a Zeke. Two pilots claimed a Tony on 1 April 1945. On 6 April 1945 kills were credited to Ltjg James D Ingram (2), Ens George M Turner and Ltjg James Alex Homyak. I have no other details as to type of e/a claimed (the war diary is very brief). Apparently only nine are credited in some sources but this may mean that nine were given to Wildcat pilots and therefore the TBF/M crews added two more? Best regards Keith
