Hi Brian,

I agree. I'm having problems trying to find info on his awards too. Nothing on the LG about either, and I wondered whether the DFC was American too.

As to his 3 claims, he states in "The Eagle Squadrons" by Haugland that on October 13, 1941, flying as a pilot officer for 71 Squadron, whilst escorting Blenheims to Bethune, France:

Quote:

I had broken formation to attack three 109Fs. I shot the lead one up and he exploded, knocking the other two down also. I was so surprised and excited that I turned for England, forgetting to watch out for other enemy planes. I was soon being fired at by other 109Fs

Hopefully, someone can confirm three losses in the area of Bethune.

Cheers
A
