| Description |
English: Royal Air Force Fighter Command, 1939-1945. Squadron Leader A McDowall in his office at Headquarters, No. 13 Group, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where he was in charge of training in tactics of fighter squadrons. McDowall shot down 14 enemy aircraft while flying with No, 602 Squadron RAF in 1939-1941. In April 1941 he was posted as flight commander to No. 245 Squadron RAF and commanded that unit, and also No. 232 Squadron RAF before his move to 13 Group. In 1944 he assumed the command of No. 616 Squadron RAF, which became the first operational unit of the RAF to convert to the Gloster Meteor jet fighter, and led them until the end of the war in Europe. His final score was 18 air victories. |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
