Despite this he was well-respected by his pilots for both his flying and leading abilities, and had served in Palestine and Iraq prior to taking over. He shaped the men for combat – reading every situation and knowing when and how to attack, but also when to back out of a fight – helping them to hone their skills. This couldn’t have been more in contrast to No. 1 Sqn’s sister in 67 Wing, No. 73 Sqn, led by ‘Cobber’ Kain, who the No. 1 Sqn boys thought of as a “split-arse pilot”.

The carriers immediately went to General Quarters on what had already been an eventful morning. Using the clouds as cover, the Japanese aircraft managed to reach a point above ‘Taffy 1’ without being seen. Suddenly, at 0740 hrs, an A6M5 Reisen dived out of the clouds directly into the escort carrier USS Santee (CVE-29), crashing through its flightdeck on the port side forward of the elevator. Just 30 seconds later a second ‘Zeke’ dived towards the USS Suwannee (CVE-27), while a third targeted USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) – anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) fire managed to shoot down both fighters. Then, at 0804 hrs, a fourth ‘Zeke’ dived on the Petrof Bay, but when hit by AAA it swerved and crashed into the flightdeck of Suwanee, blowing a hole in it forward of the aft elevator.
