Re: FC rotation system?
VoyTech
Thanks a lot!! Best possible answer to my question. Chris Thanks a lot! Quote:"For Wing Leaders the situation is more obscure as some would not record all their ops in order to keep on flying. Wg Cdr J.R.Baldwin was stopped flying operationally in October 1944 after '170 ops' in 4 months (146 Wing ORB), or '150+' (one of the sqn ORBs) but his log records 110 ops in that period." In 8th FC at least Blakeslee did the same, IIRC it is estimated that he flew appr. 500 sorties. And from Your message we see that Beamont flew appr. as many. So highest number of combat sorties flown by RAF/RAAF etc fighter jockey was at least appr. 500. And again as a proud owner of a copy of 'Typhoon and Tempest Story' I can say that it is excellent book. Juha
