Ace in a day

[alex crawford]

Hi,

I'm very interested in the pilots who claimed 5 or more victories in one day to achieve the status ace in a day.

From Aces High by Chris Shores I have found the following pilots who achieved this momentous task.

Nicholas Gresham Cooke 10 264 Sqn 29/05/40
Charles Harold Dyson 7 33 Sqn 11/12/40
M T St J Pattle 7 33 Sqn 19/04/41
Leslie Redford Clisby 6 1 Sqn 12/05/40
Albert Gerald Lewis 6 249 Sqn 27/09/40
Michael Hugh Young 6 264 Sqn 29/05/40
John Watson Allan 5 256 Sqn 15-16/10/43
Richard Joseph Audet 5 411 Sqn 29/12/42
Adrian Hope Boyd 5 145 Sqn 08/08/40
Clive Robertson Caldwell 5 250 Sqn 05/12/41
Brian J G Carbury 5 306 Sqn 31/08/40
Frank Reginald Carey 5 3 Sqn 10/05/40
Frank Reginald Carey 5 3 Sqn 13/05/40
Richard John Cork 5 880 Sqn 12/08/40
Richard Nigel Cullen 5 80 Sqn 28/02/41
Alwyn Berriman Downing 5 600 Sqn 30/04/43
Gerald Richmond Edge 5 605 Sqn 25/05/40
Antoni Glowacki 5 501 Sqn 24/08/40
Ronald Fairfax Hamlyn 5 610 Sqn 24/08/40
Albert Gerald Lewis 5 85 Sqn 19/5/40
James A F MaLachlan 5 261 Sqn 19/01/41
John K U B McGrath 5 601 Sqn 13/08/40
Archibald A McKellar 5 605 Sqn 07/10/40
M T St J Pattle 5 33 Sqn 14/04/41
Charles Curnow Scherf 5 418 Sqn 16/05/43

Thought I'd carry out some further research into Allied pilots claiming 5 or more in a single day. So how many other Allied pilots achieved this feat.

My spacing doesn't seem to have worked. The columns should be pilot, claims, Sqn, date.
