[edit] Squadron No. 617

The sources cited in the 617 squadron article seem to contradict the claims in the sources for this article. The sources in the Fauquier article state multiple times and pretty unambiguously that he commanded 617 from Dec. 1944 to wars end.

The sources in the 617 article say that Commander JB "Willy" Tait was the CO from july 1944 on. The 617 website and the RAF have no mention of him. HOWEVER, the pdf of the logs from 617 clearly show him accepting command and leading raids.....interesting. Protonk (talk) 05:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
