Re: FC rotation system?

Thank You for your answers, Franek and Graham.
Franek, my question was on combat tour, how many sorties made one tour and how many tours one could make. And the max number of sorties RAF/RAAF etc fighter jockeys achieved during WWII. IIRC from “Wing Leader” Johnson succeeded cut short at least one of his rest periods. So, combat tour was 50-70 sorties? With that one can estimate number of sorties of those who began their operational flying in 42 (or maybe in late 41) or later. For those who began earlier one should know how many sorties they flew before they were rested first time.

And thanks for the Al Deere tip, Graham. BTW, do you know a book which gives a good account on Kingaby’s career? I don’t think that he flew extraordinary number of sorties but he rose in ranks rapidly and seemed to have been effective fighter pilot. So I just want to know more about him.

Juha
