Re: 1841/1842 SQUADRON HMS FORMIDABLE
On July 30, 1945, 1841 Sqn claimed a Kate or a Nate at 0630 hours. The ship's log (ADM 199/1478) says it is a Nate. The book A Formidable Commission says it was a Kate. The log does not name the pilot; the book identifies him as LtCdr(A) R L Bigg-Wither. I have never found a combat report for this claim. The unit was equipped with Corsairs, but I do not know if he flew a Corsair I or II.
On the same day one of HMS Victorious' Corsair squadrons (1834 or 1836) claimed a Dinah at 1823 hours, at Maizuru. I have never been able to identify the squadron or pilot. Does anyone know of a combat report for this claim? Frank.
