1. Monthly Personnel Rosters of Officers, April 1943–May 1944 https://catalog.archives.gov/id/16650241
2. Army Officers Pay Cards, 1940–1951 https://catalog.archives.gov/id/35809707

Unlikely to be Bruce O. RANDALL as previously mentioned. That Bruce Randall has Service Number 17156995 not 01649916.
In fact, I found no match to that serial number in this file:
File unit: Electronic Army Serial Number Merged File, ca. 1938 - 1946 (Enlistment Records)
in the Series: World War...
Could it be from a Defiant? may be the manufacturer mark/stamp is for the Boulton Paul Aircraft Company? Can someone verify the company's logo?

Hi there,
My great Uncle's Spitfire was shot down by Hpt Karl-Heinz Krahl (Stab. II/JG 53), on 10 March 1942 at Malta, Krahl's final victory. Is it possible to locate the combat report that Krahl would have completed?
Hope you can assist, I know this is a very long shot.
Tom
