Yeah, all two of us...

All right, Lacombe; I'm a fair man. Here's your chance to safe face for all of Canada:

Correctly identify the type of German aircraft the Hudson crew shot down, and I'll rename my youngest daughter "Focke Wulf 149". :D

18 October, a Hudson of 233 Squadron shot down a Dornier Do 18, thereby crediting to Coastal Command the first air-to-air kill of World War II. From this imperfectly co-ordinated but courageous beginning developed the potent maritime air arm that won the Battle of the Atlantic, and in which the anti-shipping campaign played a crucial but oft-forgotten part.
