Tail-Dragon Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) I have seen the name 'George Wittman' listed as a Canadian ace in WW2, with 17 victories. This is a name I am completely unfamiliar with, and can not find any info online. Would anyone have any info on this person and his service? I find it truly odd that he appears on the lists of Canadian aces just below "Woody" Woodward (19.83 victories) and above Willie McKnight (16.5 victories) but there is no indication of which branch he served with, or where. Canadian Aces Thanks, Colin ... update ... It's clear that the problem was the miss-spelling of his last name in the 'Aces' lists. Thanks to JackG for the clarifying link!

Tail-Dragon Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Thanks very much! His is a fascinating story , and I'm surprised that so little was known (at least by me!) Now to start research on his #3 Squadron Tempest JF-P (JN743) of No 3 Sqn, first Tempest air to air victory!
