| Entry Text: | ORANGE, Vincent. Ensor's Endeavour: A Biography of Wing Commander Mick Ensor DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar, AFC, RNZAF & RAF. 190p., bibliog., illus., index. London: Grub Street, 1994. ISBN: 1898697043
Ensor learned to fly in New Zealand and joined 500 Squadron in 1941. His first exploits were in Blenheims and Hudsons over the North Sea. During 1942 he hunted U-boats over the Atlantic and as part of the cover for the Torch landings sank U 162. After a brief spell in Coastal Command HQ he returned to the Atlantic with 224 Squadron Liberators and in late 1944 the squadron moved to cover the seas around Norway, where he had more success. An interesting tale. |
