Re: 80 Sqn 16 Mar 43
Hello,
The pilots were Canadians and Warrant Officers Thomas “Tom” L. McCloy and Leslie L. “Les” Smathers. This was 80 Sq. last claim in the North African campaign. Smathers was wounded on 28 March after a landing accident with “EY-J”. He also claimed a damaged Ju88 in the Tobruk area on 3 March 1943. He served in 123 Sq. from 31 March 1942 to 28 August 1942 and then in 80 Sq. to 27 July 1944 when he was tour expired. He returned to 80 Sq. between 28 February 1945 until 28 May 1945 when his second tour expired. McCloy served in 123 Sq. from 31 March 1942 to 28 August 1942 and then in 80 Sq. to 18 October 1943 when he went to 274 Squadron. Best wishes/Håkan
