  • Part Two: the Fighter War Was Telling the Secretary of State for Air: 'Our Engines Are Still Liable to Temporary Failure in Flight Under Negative 'G' Conditions
    2IO Part Two: The Fighter War was telling the secretary of state for air: 'Our engines are still liable to temporary failure in flight under negative 'G' conditions. Although many attempts have been made to eradicate this defect from the standard type of carburettor and to develop and produce injection type carburettors which function perfectly at all altitudes, our latest type, the Spitfire IX, is still affected by this serious drawback. This defect is in fact the practical fighter pilot's chief bugbear at the present time.' 30 After only two months on operations Trevena was posted out and shortly afterwards returned to Canada, where he would be discharged on medical grounds in October 1943. He was replaced by Squadron Leader J.D. Morrison, who was 'well qualified to command a squadron both from the point of view of flying and administration.' Morrison, who had been granted one of the RAF's first short-service commissions in 1939, had also gone overseas with No I IO Squadron in February 1940, then served briefly with 85 Squadron, RAF, and had been promoted to flight lieutenant, joining No I (subsequently 401) Squadron, RCAF, in November, just after the Battle of Britain. He would retain command of No 412 until killed in action on 24 March 1942. 31 His death merely re-emphasized the difficulty of establishing effective squadron and wing leadership in the early and middle years of the war - all too often, leaders and prospective leaders, fighting under grave disadvantages of one form or another, were killed before they could realize their full potential.
