ls known as a maker of aerial aces aslrwell as being a top ace him- se .
A civil engineer in Nottingham
before the war, Johnson n year ago turned the Canadian Spitfire wing he then commanded into one of the "hottest" in Britain. Taken off nctlve flying to old ln the "planning of the invasions aerla coverage. he recently returned t active operations and again was given a Canadian fighter wing to lead against the best the Germans could offer in the nlr. Johnson's 31st. and 32nd aerial victories were scored last Wednes- day to equal the mark set by Malan when he was the leading R. A. F. pilot. in the battle of Britain and to top the 31 set by Flt. Lt. George Beurllng of Ver- dun. Que, leading Canadian ace now in Canada. Johnson's record- breaking came when he caught a. German heading for the safety of the clouds, nailed hlln and follow- ed him down until the foe crush- ed.
From a. Canadian airfield ln Immce today came Johnson's re- action to his 33rd kill, the one that broke Mann's record:
“Malan has been off operations for some time and there are sev- eral other outstanding men who went off during 1941 and i942. If they were still flying, I arn sure some of them would have phen- omenal scores by now.
"I have been fortunate in an- other way, too, in that for the last three years I have been flying as a leader. first in a. squadron then ln a wing. Consequently I have always had the first crack at any l-luns and had many more op r- tlunltles than the tall-end C ar-
es.”
Johnson added that luck played a big part ln his success and said: "Another ‘thing ls that I have I. great deal of confidence, bred mostly from the fact. that I have never been shot down." Ho con- tinned almost as an afterthought: "In fact I have never been hit and

The new Spitfires the Canadians are flying. armed with twin can- non and four machine-guns in the wings. are hard to beat even by what pilots coll the “Long-nosed Fockewulf." termed ‘the best fight- er the Germans have today. Many seasoned pilots are among the Canadian pilots flying in Nor- mandy. some of them with "ace" ratings. It takes l0 "kills" to rate ace category 1n the R. A. F. and R. C. A.
