I would like to know if this bullet wound he received when flying was from the ground or in aerial combat with an enemy aircraft, but it looks like the 9 squadron records are not yet digitized.

It looks like the bullet that hit his knee caused life-long disability. He was left with hyper-extension as one of the effects. On one of the final documents, related to his pension on his death in 1959, it shows he had been graded 40% disabled.
