jolihokisticks (#10550),
Welcome aboard !
And thanks ! Interesting ! As far as I can see, it represents the artist's idea of a weird two-seat (?) Hurricane (?) (roundels and tail markings wrong, should be blue & white, camo roughly right) being shot down by "Zeros" (or "Oscars"), while a fleet of "Bettys" ("Sallys" ?) sails serenely on. Formations a bit funny -"Close finger five" ? (which never was).
From a single experience, and from what I heard, the Jap always bombed in "Vic", or "Vic of Vics" (with navigation lights even at night), so F/Sgt Pring was able to "get three Bettys for the price of one" inside a minute with his Beaufighter one night over Calcutta). But their formation was Red Arrow standard.
Please let us have the translation ! EDIT: Ta !
Danny.
EDIT: No, not Spitfires (were there any in Oz at that time ?) - the one in plan view does not have a Spitfire wing (not pointy enough).
