Captain Moss Fletcher of the 4th FS also became an ace during the heavy fighting of April 1943, having claimed his first (shared) victory while flying with the RCAF. During his time with the 4th he was credited with a further four kills in late April. Fletcher’s aircraft not only carried his name and score, but also personal nose art. His crew chief, Sergeant Kurka, is seen here on the wing of Fletcher’s Spitfire.
