The LCA would like to send a :salute To the Axis. We met a very stiff defense on every frame. And a Thanks to the Allied CiC's, we got the aircraft we requested and did our best to follow orders. FSO's rock.  :rock

Well yeah, I saw that from your previous link.  What I would like to see are some resources that show they got rounds off against German air or ground targets.     

Well if you want to get scruffy over it, here ya go.

September 9th during Operation Avalanche saw 888 off Formidable score again, bringing down a Cantieri Z.506B float-plane. 842 Squadron (Lieut. Comdr. LR Tivy, RN), HMS Fencer, scored an FW-200, splashed by Sub-Lieut. Fleishman-Allen, on 1 December to round out 1943.

Sorry I just couldn't find where they defended the CV against low level Bf-110Gs.  :D

Sorry, didn't intend for that to be a snarky comment.  I was just trying to state that I had read through that website and seen the same thing as you mentioned.

No problem, just from doing my own search I can imagine how hard it is to cover every unit and aircraft type when designing one of these setups. I appreciate you asking about Fleet Air Arm Martlets being involved. Like I said earlier I'm not convinced the F4F would have helped us.

We had a few rough frames lately and I do understand Boxboy's frustration he's a good guy and puts his heart and soul into his FSO flying.
It's a hard pill to swallow when you're a Navy squadron and cannot successfully CAP your own fleet and I'm as frustrated as he is. We'll find a way to skin this cat yet.  :aok
