Re: Bill Crawford-Compton April-June 1943

I have since seen that Compton may actually have been flying with 453 Sqn on 27 June 1943 (which would accord with a decoration citation for the "Silver Star"). If so then I wonder if the "Getty Images" is linked to the medal citation and therefore the date (18 June 1943) is suspect...and maybe should be 28 June 1943?

Also that the probable on 14 May may have been credited to Ratten, or perhaps it was a confusion that the kill credited was initially reported as a probable?

regards

Keith
