Notes:
This model represents an aircraft that was the mount of James 'Stocky' Edwards when he was with 94 Sq in 1941. Though no indication is given, apparently he shot down no enemy aircraft flying the Kittyhawk with this unit. He then transferred to 260 Sq where he shot down 15 1/2 aircraft. He then went on to 92 Sq in Italy with Spit VIII's and then to command 274 Sq. Prior to D-day, his unit moved back to England and in 1944 converted to the Tempest. Late in the war he was made wing commander and replaced Johnny Johnson as head of 127 wing. He ended the war with 16 victories and stayed in the RCAF, retiring in 1969.
