This Day In History

Summary of Events for  No. 439 (CAN) Squadron 

as recorded in the  439 Squadron Operations Record Book

for

01 February 1944

 R.A.F. Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland

Letter received today from H.Q. No. 13 Group inviting two pilots to be attached to Army Units during a series  of Assault Landing Exercises in the Moray Firth area. These exercises should give the pilot some insight into the organization, lay-out and problems confronting the Army and the Navy. The pilots attending should gather useful knowledge of the methods, formations and tactics employed so that they will be able to recognize the stage of the assault and the craft, vehicles  and equipment used by our forces. Two pilots will be going on Feb. 5th 1944 and two more on Feb. 19th, 1944. I know all pilots will want to go, but only four will be able to. No flying all day, as weather very bad.
