The three pilots are seated on the wing of one of the Hurricanes their squadron flies. Those are 20-mm guns and R93379 WO1 Charlie Anderson (centre) of Belize, British Honduras, is showing how a bunch of Japs scattered when he opened up on them after they had leapt from the vehicles of a convoy. Left is J11050 Flying Officer Harold ‘Dutch’ Holland (West Kildonan, Winnipeg) and right is R136437 FS John Magill (Toronto). The squadron these Canucks fly with has one of the highest records of serviceability and number of sorties carried out of any squadron in India.” // As a pilot and flight commander this officer has displayed skill and courage of a high order.
