There is a rogue group of copyright infringers who have stolen a much earlier version of my data - from at least 10 years ago - and have the affrontery to publish that, along with using my name, on their poorly researched website. They claim this is the 'original' Kracker Archive, a ridiculous claim since my Archive has been in a state of continuous development for over 30 years and nobody - NOBODY - has the original. They have no right to use my name or my data and readers who come across this nonsense should do nothing to encourage theft of this nature. I am outraged by this blatant theft and misrepresentation of my lifetime's work. The ONLY person I have ever authorized to publish my data and use my name is Kelvin Youngs, who earned my trust and respect many years ago and is authorized by me to publish my work on whichever website he organizes, currently this being its present home at the highly respected Aircrew Remembered.

His first victory, a Spitfire on 7 September, 1940, no location. His 2nd, an Albacore at Calais on 11 September, 1940. Added: The death date on the gravesite is wrong - it was not the 5th but the 2nd October, 1940. During the combat Stronk’s Messerschmitt was shot down by P/O Peter G. Dexter DFC of No. 603 Squadron but was then shot down himself. P/O Dexter tried to bale out, wounded in the leg, but found this impossible as his leg was trapped. The aircraft fell 15,000 feet before he was able to wrench his foot free of his flying boot and was just high enough for his parachute to open. Peter Dexter, by then a Flying Officer, was killed on 14th July 1941 when his Spitfire was in collision with a Spitfire of No. 54 Squadron, flown by Sgt. J. W. Panter, over Boulogne. (CK)
