Data derived from many sources. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary

(Nachtjagd Combat Archives 1944 Part 2 - Theo Boiten). Crashed Courboin (Aisne) 10 km SE of Chateau-Thierry.	Killed	Courboin Communal Cemetery Collective Grave			Sgt Brady was awarded the DFM whilst with 619 Sqn. Gazetted 19 May 1944. Citation:-As wireless operator (air) this airman has participated in very many sorties and has displayed commendable skill and coolness throughout. On a recent occasion he was a member of the crew in an aircraft which attacked Brunswick. Soon after leaving the target he sighted a fighter closing in. Displaying great coolness he warned his pilot to take evasive action at the appropriate moment. The enemy aircraft made 2 more attacks before it was hit by a burst of fire which caused it to dive steeply with smoke pouring from its engines. Throughout the fight, Sergeant Brady directed the combat manoeuvres with much skill and his efforts played a good part in frustrating the attacker. This airman has completed many sorties and has invariably displayed praiseworthy vigilance and devotion to duty.

Braham was captured and spent the rest of the war as a prisoner. He was liberated in May 1945.	PoW		L-R: Bill Gregory : Bob Braham		Battle of Britain veteran. Braham was the most highly decorated airman in RAF Fighter Command. He claimed the destruction of 29 enemy aircraft. In addition, he claimed a further six damaged and four probable victories. One of these probable victories can be confirmed through German records, making an unofficial total of 30 enemy aircraft destroyed—19 were achieved at night. He was the most successful British pilot on twin-engine aircraft. The 19 victories claimed at night rivalled John 'Cats Eyes' Cunningham's tally and was bettered only by night fighter pilot Branse Burbridge Wikipedia
