ORIGINAL: janushm

well i thought we first used swordfishes and then got the avengers...but my information on this is limited [couple of AC books, books on the occupation of indonesia by the japs and the conflict there after the war]

Yes, you are right 860th Sqn was first equiped with Swordfishes. Flights of this squadron did there duty on the MAC Tankers Gadila and Macoma

[janushm]

and those where both taken out of service on may 30th 1945.

Thanks Ian - very nice site.

It appears that Karel Doorman and her airgroup just came too late to merit inclusion.
