1 | Sands | Alwyn Harold | Flight Sergeant | 402064 | Australia | RAAF | 73 Squadron RAF | 1942-05-27 | RAAF Honour Roll | From: Hans-Joachim Marseille's Record: Kills 37 – 38 8 February 1942 08.22 08.25 Four P-40s east-northeast of Martuba, north of Martuba, northwest of Bomba Bay and over the sea northeast of Bomba Bay. The first action took place directly over the airfield at Martuba. The first victory was a Flight Sergeant Hargreaves, who belly-landed his fighter and was taken prisoner. It seems that Marseille's third victory was mistakenly identified as a P-40. The victim was most likely a Hurricane IIB, Z5312, of No. 73 Squadron RAF, piloted by Flight Sergeant Alwyn Sands (RAAF), who also crash-landed. Marseille's 40th claim was probably Sgt A. T. Tonkin of No. 112 Squadron, who was killed. |
