Re: VC-65 aerial victories
Unless the 3-4 aerial victories are not accepted, and relate to his last aerial combats against Japanese dive-bombers which however valorous are inconclusive.

Re: VC-65 aerial victories
Not being pedantic but the two Kates claimed on 23 June 1944 were actually two Jills shot down on 22 June 1944 as per the ACA.

Re: VC-65 aerial victories
Last recorded air victory of sorts for VC-65 must have been on 22 Feb 1945 when a Japanese balloon was shot down by CO Lt Floyd A. Johnston in an FM-2, 12 miles north of NAAS North Bend, Oregon.
See war diary https://catalog.archives.gov/id/139892711?objectPage=3 and Page 4.
