1 rear gunner
2 45%
3 I think it's either 141 or 142 but think one sortie was cancelled due to engine trouble
4 I think this is two pa474 and the Canadian one I'd letters escape me fo the time being
5 ATA I think was the auxillery ( air transport auxillery ) female pilots were involved in this operation to deliver aircraft to RAF units
I know it's just for fun so let me know how I did
