Joseph I. Johnson
Joseph Inkerman Johnson was born in 1914 in Hulcote, Northamptonshire. He joined the RAF in June 1935 as an Aircrafthand (Carpenter).〔http://www.thesoutheastecho.co.uk/Pilots/Johnson_JI.htm〕 He was later remustered as an Airman-in training Pilot and won his wings on 11 August 1939 — three weeks before Britain declared war on Germany.
In May 1940 Sgt. Johnson was posted to 222 Squadron. In June he claimed the 'probable' destruction of a He 111 over Dunkirk. By August 1940 he had flown 25 missions. The squadron was posted to RAF Hornchurch on 29 August 1940.〔Battle of Britain Squadrons http://www.raf.mod.uk/bob1940/213to236.html〕
The following day no. 222 Squadron was scrambled several times during the day, and at 16:00 hours to intercept a large formation of bombers in the direction of the Thames Estuary and were attacked by the escorting fighters. Flying a Spitfire Mk 1, ''R6628'' Johnson was shot down at 18:02 by a Messerschmitt Bf109〔Battle of Britain Historical Society http://www.battleofbritain1940.net/0031.html〕 and crashed near Bishopsbourne, south of Canterbury in Kent.〔RAF Hornchurch - The Human Story http://www.rafhornchurch.thehumanjourney.net/squadrons.htm#222〕 It is believed that Johnson died before the crash.
Johnson is buried in Towcester Cemetery in Northamptonshire. His grave is Row G, Grave 2〔Commonwealth War Graves Commission http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=2949658〕 and it gives his service number — 520406.〔Bishopsbourne Spitfire http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~nog/personal/spitfire.htm Originally published in the Kingston parish magazine based on research conducted at The Battle of Britain Museum, Hawkinge by M Joplin, a local historian〕 His name is included on the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-le-Ferne.
