Timeline

1940

Early in December 1940, Tait was taken off operational duties and sent to No. 56 Operational Training Unit as an instructor. In February the following year, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. The next month, he was mentioned in despatches. Promoted to flight lieutenant in May 1941, Tait returned to operational flying in July. He was posted to No. 257 Squadron, which operated from Coltishall and carried out patrols and reconnaissance flights over the North Sea. On 4 August, he failed to return from a sortie attacking E-boats. Initially reported as missing, he was subsequently reported as being presumed to have been shot down and killed.

1939

In August 1939, as tensions escalated between Britain and Germany, No. 87 Squadron was mobilised for war. It was intended to send the squadron to France as the Air Component of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), designated as part of No. 60 Mobile Wing. Following the invasion of Poland and with the Second World War now underway, it deployed to France. Tait worked as the squadron's adjutant until November, at which time he commenced flying duties although it was a relatively quiet time, with little action seen. In April 1940, while flying in fog over the Maginot Line, he crashed his Hurricane. He spent two weeks in hospital with his injuries and was still convalescing at the squadron's airfield when it was attacked, his tent being torn by shrapnel.

1937

Born in Wellington, Tait joined the RAF in 1937. After completing flight training he was posted to No. 87 Squadron. Sent to France shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, he shot down at least three enemy aircraft once the Germans invaded the Low Countries in May 1940. He destroyed another three enemy aircraft during the Battle of Britain. He was subsequently awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and this was followed by a mention in despatches. After a period of instructing duties, in July 1941 he was posted to No. 257 Squadron and went missing in action the following month.

In May 1937 Tait was accepted for a short service commission in the Royal Air Force (RAF). He left for England later that year, one of twelve New Zealanders intending to join the RAF as pilots, sailing aboard the RMS Rangitata and commenced flight training in October at a civilian school in White Waltham. On completion of his elementary course in January 1938, he was commissioned as an acting pilot officer in the RAF. He proceeded to No. 6 Flying Training School at Little Rissington, gained his wings in May and then three months later was posted to No. 87 Squadron. At the time he joined the squadron, it was in the process of converting to the Hawker Hurricane fighter.
