Actually…Major. Preddy got his 6 victory mission on the 6th August 1944…not the 7th.
So your a day late….
He also managed this feat while under the influence of alcohol.
The mission had been scrubbed…..so George had a good time at the bar.
But just 20min after hitting the sack…he was awakened to be told he would be leading the mission that had been scrubbed.
He had to he held up during the briefing..and plied with lots of coffee.

He took out his annoyance on the enemy scoring 6 vics in less than 5mins.
