Since they did not fly the same aircraft, May was in P2724.
This Alain of course knows, but for some reason it did not come out as he intended.... Cheers Stig |

Re: July 8, 1941, Sergeant Leonard May
Now that was a surprise Alain
My sources says P2826 was SOC 24 May 1944 with 5 PAFU (Air Britain), while P2724 was lost with 17 Sq on 8 July 1941 (Air Britain and Air War 1941 - the non-stop offensive, part one) What is your source for P2826?? Cheers Stig |
