And neither does Walton's Sortie report (Form 441A) unfortunately. I don't have a copy of the relevant page of the ORB but the pages I do have only name pilots who claimed victories. Everyone else is just referred to by callsign. The daily tabulatons of aircraft and missions would give that but in the days before digital cameras (and copies at 30p a page) one couldn't get copies of everything. (And it wasn't a book about the RAF!)
It's nice that people are still taking an interest in this book but I wish you'd asked the question a little sooner! We stopped research on that project in 1992 so I have a lot of notes to search through.
No. 241's ORB is AIR27/1466 if anyone wants to go to the source.
