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.

Normie flew as a wireless Air Gunner (WAG) during the Battle of the Coral Sea, where he sent out a signal saying their aircraft was being attacked by Zero fighters. Nothing further was heard. He was officially listed as missing in action on 7th May, 1942 aged 20. Japanese intelligence reports, discovered in 1947, indicated that a flying boat crew had been captured around this time. In 1988 it was learned that the crew of nine had been executed after interrogation. This fate befell many allied airmen captured by the Japanese. Normie has no known grave. (maryboroughmuseum.org)
