Portrait of Sergeant Pilot John Howell-Price of No. 3 Squadron RAAF whose Kittyhawk aircraft was hit by heavy anti-aircraft fire and forced to ditch into the sea about a mile and a half off Katania Harbour. Upon learning this Squadron Leader (Sqn Ldr) Reg Stevens took off to locate the missing pilot. He did sight him, radioed in and circled overhead until the Air Sea Rescue Supermarine Walrus aircraft arrived. The Walrus had trouble landing in the harbour due to fire from an 88mm gun; Sqn Ldr Stevens attacked the gun crew, sustaining some hits before silencing it. He subsequently was forced to crash land behind Allied lines. Both men returned to the Squadron at Agnone later that day.
