Lt MJ Harris RNVR flew P-47D on Ops with the 405th FG

[AUS_RAAF]

Hi Larry,

Palgrave Emden Carr comes to mind. Not a naval pilot although an Royal Australian Navy Observer who flew with the British FAA including 810 Sqn and 814 Sqn. Was seconded to 22 Sqn RAF although of interest to your query was operations flown with the RAAF including 100 Sqn and 11 Sqn. Shot down 1 Oct 43 during attack on Japanese freighter, POW with the Japanese and the only RAN officer awarded a DFC during WWII. Several other RAN Observers flew with the RAAF although they were mainly attached to Walrus flights of Australian ships (Australian naval flying during WWII was generally under RAAF control and the Walrus flights were part of 9 Sqn RAAF).

regards, Drew
