Summary

Description
English: Three notable pilots of No. 3 Squadron SAAF at Addis Ababa. On the left is Captain J E "Jack" Frost, the most successful fighter pilot of the SAAF during the war (see E 3410). In the middle is Lieutenant R H C Kershaw, who earned a DSO for rescuing Frost after he had been shot down during a raid on the Italian airfield a Diredawa. Kershaw landed his Hawker Hurricane alongside, picked up Frost and flew back to their base at Dogabur. On the right is Captain S v.B Theron who, like Frost , enjoyed considerable success with 3 Squadron in Somaliland and Ethiopia. He later commanded No. 250 Squadron RAF in Italy, for which he was awarded the DSO, and served in Normandy in 1944.
