Royal Air Force 1939-1945- Fighter Command One of Fighter Command's top night-fighting teams was that of Wing Commander J R 'Bob' Braham (right) and his navigator Flight Lieutenant W J 'Sticks' Gregory. Braham had shot down 19 enemy aircraft, mostly in Beaufighters, with another 10 claimed on daylight Mosquito sorties. Although the pair had staff appointments when this shot was taken at Benson on 19 May 1944, Braham still flew operationally whenever possible. It was on one such freelance excursion over Denmark on 25 June that he was shot down and captured.
