Submitted by the Fitzgerald family, this is what the newspapers were saying in 1941/1942 about the Squadron's performance in the "Near East" (as it was then called). Note that any reference to 3 Squadron's number isn't made ... censorship at the time would have prevented any mention of the whereabouts of any of the forces. I wonder how long it would have taken an enemy spy to figure out exactly who "Australia's only air squadron in the Near East ..." was at that particular time? |
