Re: Brewster Buffalo on Crete

There's confusion here between the first character (of three) and the last. The first character was often omitted, seeing how rarely carriers operated together, so 7Y is individual aircraft Y of the second fighter squadron on the carrier - presumably Eagle in this context. Or just on the airbase, if carriers were not involved. The full code COULD have been E7Y, if carried.
