Spitfire Vc Trop, BP975, F/Lt Denis Barnham, No. 601 Squadron, RAF Luqa, Malta, April - May 1942
Spitfire Vc Trop, BR126, P/O Jerrold A. Smith, No. 126 Squadron, USS Wasp (CV-7), May 1942
After the outbreak of the war, Dennis Barnham
joined RAF in April 1941. Initially he served with
the No. 65 Squadron, in July he was ordered to
the No. 609 Squadron and on December 30 he
was transferred to the No. 154 Squadron. In April
1942 he was promoted and assigned to the No. 601
Squadron as a flight leader. At that time the unit
was preparing for the deployment to Malta. On
April 20, 1942, during the operation code-named
Calendar, he flew off the American aircraft carrier
USS Wasp (CV-7) for the island. During April and
May Barnham scored five aerial victories, all of
them flying Spitfire BP975. On board of USS Wasp
(CV-7), over its original desert camouflage his
Spitfire was painted in the US Navy Non Specular
Blue Gray used on the USS Wasp escort F4F
Wildcats. Denis Barnham was an artist as well
and he often painted and drew sketches. Some of
his drawings were included in the book One Man’s
Window (William Kimber, 1956) he wrote after the
war about his experiences from Malta.
On May 9, 1942, after he took off in his Spitfire
BR126 X-3, the Canadian pilot, P/O Jerrold Alpine
Jerry” Smith found out that his drop tank was
inoperable, and he was not able to reach the
airfield on Malta. He jettisoned his tank and
received order to bail out of his Spitfire. Instead,
Jerry inquired about the attempt to save the
aircraft by landing it on the aircraft carrier deck.
After the captain approved, he indeed tried to do
it. His first approach was too high and too fast
however his second attempt was successful, and
he safely landed his Spitfire mere six feet from
the end of the flight deck. He managed, as the first
in world, to land a Spitfire on the aircraft carrier
and without an arresting hook! For his deed
P/O “Jerry” Smith was unofficially awarded the
American Navy Wings from the flight deck officer
David McCampbell, the future most successful
USN fighter pilot who, as a LSO (Landing Signal
Officer) directed the whole operation. Jerry
ultimately made it to Malta couple of days later
on May 19 with another batch of Spitfires during
the Operation LB. In Malta, he met his brother
Rod at the No. 126 Squadron and on July 18 they
together shot down a Ju 88. On August 10, 1942, he
took off in the order to search for some targeted
minelayers. He was seen for the last time
pursuing a Ju 88 on the course towards Sicily.
Neither aircraft made it back to the home base.
His brother Rod was searching hours for him but
did not find any sign of neither the body nor his
Spitfire. Jerry’s name is engraved on the Malta’s
memorial. During the Malta fighting he scored
four individual kills and shared one.
