Tansferred overseas arriving in Bournemouth in July 1943. 13OTU for course No. 4, and on 21 October 1943 and was transferred to RAF Stoney Cross. 4 November 1943, to 299 Squadron, on Lockheed Venturas, but conversion to Stirlings commenced in January 1944. Posted to 1665 HCU at Woolfax Lodge; at this unit, he joined up with pilot FS R. B. Herger and the rest of his crew, before being posted to 190 Squadron. On 8 February 1944 to 190 Squadron as Flying Officer. This squadron had been reformed at RAF Station Leicester East as an airborne forces squadronfor supply-dropping missions over France in April 1944. The squadron was involved in the dropping of airborne troops behind enemy lines in Normandy on D-Day, and continued operating supply missions over French Occupied Territory in the following months. From 17–23 September 1944, 190 Squadron played an important part in the support mission of Operation Market Garden, suffering heavy losses. Antoft took part in these operations from the beginning of May. On 6–7 May 1944, his crew had made an unsuccessful attempt to drop containers near Montaner, in the foothills of the Pyrenees in France, for SOE. During May, the squadron practiced glider towing, container dropping, and fighter affiliation, in preparation for the coming invasion. Very few operational sorties were carried out during this time. 5 June, the crew were briefed for phase two of Operation Tonga. In the first phase of this operation, glider-borne troops from Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry would attack the bridges over the Caen canal and Orne River, east of the Bénouville. Then, as part of the second phase of the operation, twenty-three Stirlings from each of the two squadrons at RAF Station Fairford (190 and 620 Squadrons) would be dropping 887 airborne troops of the 7th Parachute Battalion in an area on the north-east side of Ranville (drop zone ‘N’). These troops were to set up a defensive perimeter around the bridges. From June to August 1944, 190Sqn involved in supply missions for the French Resistance and for the SOE, as well as missions dropping SAS groups behind enemy lines. From 14 June to 11 September 1944, Antoft took part in fourteen such missions. Most operations involved dropping containers, panniers and packages, but on several missions additional SAS paratroops were dropped over France. On 17 September 1944, Antoft flew the first of four operational missions in Operation Market Garden. On the first day of the operation, the unit carried the pathfinders of the 21st Independent Parachute Company that marked the landing zones for the first lift. At approximately 10.45 hours, twenty-five Stirlings from both 190 and 620 Squadrons took off from Fairford and set course for Arnhem. Six of the aircraft acted as pathfinders, while the remaining nineteen, including Antoft’s crew, were towing gliders that contained 130 airborne troops, seventeen jeeps, seven light and one heavy motor cycle, seventeen trailers, seven guns, and one bicycle. All except one carried out their sorties. Several aircraft were hit by flak, but the operational record also reports that the enemy flak positions were well beaten up by Allied fighters. In the following days, the unit was deeply engaged in the resupply missions. The Danish fighter pilot Flt Lt K. C. J. Pedersen took part in the operation as well; he was part of a group of eleven Spitfires from 1 Squadron who provided low-level escort to aircraft, gilders, and tugs. At 12.10 hours. on 18 September 1944, Stirling IV (LJ943), with Antoft, took off from Fairford. The Stirling was towing a Horsa glider, carrying supplies strongly needed in Arnhem. Whilst over Holland, the aircraft was drawn into the slipstream of a Dakota. The pilot, FS Herger, took evasive action and the tow rope snapped. The Horsa, piloted by S/Sgt Newton and Sgt Douglas of No. 10 Flight, G Squadron, landed the glider safely near the village of Oude-Tonge on the island of Goeree-Overflakkee—many miles from Arnhem. The next day, 19 September, the crew flew the third sortie for Arnhem. Sixteen Stirlings took off at 13.05 hours. to drop containers and panniers in the Arnhem area. They encountered heavy flak and many aircraft returned damaged. Two aircraft failed to return. Two days later, Antoft was in the air again. In Holland, the British troops were trapped near Arnhem. The crew was briefed on a position in Oosterbeek, but, given the critical situation on the ground, no definite dropping point was fixed beforehand. Instead, the crew was to drop the load at 1,000 feet after a signal from the ground troops in that area, north-west of Arnhem. Antoft’s crew carried out the drop successfully, despite concentrated heavy and light flak throughout the run-in. At some point the aircraft (LJ943/C) was hit several times, and caught fire. The Air Gunner, WO J. C. Thomas (R.173863, RCAF) attempted to extinguish the fire, but failed—being cut off from the rest of the crew, he baled out at between 300 to 400 feet. The Flight Engineer, Sgt Hillyard, also managed to bale out, while the aircraft crashed north of a farm at Zetten. Sgt Hillyard had seen both FO MacDonell and Antoft putting on their parachutes in order to follow him out of the aircraft, but, for unknown reasons, they never left. WO Thomas and Sgt Hillyard were captured by the Germans within minutes of their landing; the rest of the crew, including Antoft, were killed in action. Initially, they were buried in the Refuge-Hill Church Cemetery in Zetten with the casualties of another Stirling loss (LJ982). The Dutch locals who were taking care of the casualties initially accounted for fifteen bodies of the eighteen crew missing. Following the liberation of the area, the bodies were reinterred at the Oosterbeek Airborne Cemetery, Arnhem, Holland. | Aircrew Deaths Database Danish Profiles Allied Losses Database LJ953 |

The brothers were born to Froim (Frank) and Esther nee Lusher. Frank and Esther had a further two children Marion in 1922 and Cyril in 1929. Lawrence attended school at Bishop Field College, Bond Street in St John’s, and then attended Memorial University College from 1938 – 1939. When war was declared Lawrence was the second man from St John’s to volunteer after his friend. His records state: ‘They were a 'local' who enlisted into the Royal Air Force in Newfoundland. They joined after August 1940. Was appointed as a Class F Reservist’ Lawrence joined the RAF and his twin Wilfred joined the Army. Wilfred’s family have stated that he served for 6 years in heavy artillery in the British Army. Both Lawrence and Wilfred were stationed in the UK for a while. Lawrence wrote to his mother ‘that he loved to fly over Ireland, it was so lush and green’. Their sister Marion worked as a civilian secretary for the head of the Naval Armaments Depot. Whilst serving in the RAF, Lawrence was given the nicknames Benny and Barney as seen in the book extract below: ‘On 3 February 1942, the remaining aircrews of the original four-squadron wing that had been assigned to the defence of Singapore had arrived in Karachi, together with a cargo of crated Hurricanes. With the victorious Japanese fleet now poised to enter the Bay of Bengal, it was decided that the first eight Hurricanes to be assembled were to be flown to Colombo to defend Ceylon. The pilots assigned were Flight Lieutenant Peter Fletcher, a Rhodesian; Flying Officer Joe Edwards, a Canadian; Pilot Officer Ian Adamson, a Scot from the Argentine who wore the shoulder flashes BLAV (British Latin American Volunteers); Pilot Officer Gordon Conway; Warrant Officer Thomas Taggart Young, an American in RAF uniform; Flight Sergeants Barney Banikhin and Bill Higgins; and Sergeant ‘Ginger’ Hicks. It would have been hard to find a more cosmopolitan group. We lost two pilots at this time. To test Japanese reaction a sweep was flown over Chittagong, on the far side of the Bay of Bengal. On the way back Barney Banikhin made a successful forced landing, but Hamish Weatherall developed a bad glycol leak and was killed when he spun in, apparently overcome by fumes. A fortnight later I handed over my aircraft to Piers Worrall, who took over readiness in it. I had flown it twice the previous day, but when he took off later in a scramble he lost his engine in a dead cut and was burned to death when he crashed into a pillbox at the end of the runway. In mid-1942, No 136 Squadron moved to Red Road, a strip in the centre of Calcutta, from where it could operate as a single unit. Because of the severe camber on Red Road, the Hurricanes normally took off singly on the crown of the road to assist in keeping straight. Failure to do so could have disastrous consequences, as Gordon Conway discovered one day when, while taking off as number two of a pair, he failed to keep on top of the camber and progressively drifted to port as engine torque and adverse camber combined. Just as he got airborne the port wing took the top off a sentry box that had foolishly been sited right on the edge of the road (it never was again). Thanks to the Hurricane’s ruggedness and some skilful flying, Conway got down with several feet of more losses in 1942 when Barney Banikhin flew into the ground during a practice attack and was killed instantly, and a month later the squadron’s American pilot, Thomas Taggart Young, hit a tree in the same exercise area and died from his injuries three days later’.

Bruce Citation DFC: BANNOCK, S/L Russell (C1086) - Distinguished Flying Cross - No.418 Squadron Award effective 3 October (supplement of 29 Sept) 1944 as per London Gazette of that date & AFRO 2637/44 dated 8 December 1944. This officer has completed numerous sorties including several attacks on enemy airfields on which he has caused much disruption. He is a highly efficient flight commander and has showed much skill and initiative in the planning and execution of his missions. His successes include the destruction of many flying bombs, three of which he destroyed in one patrol. NOTE: Public Record Office Air 2/9159 has original recommendation by W/C A. Barker on 31 July 1944 when he had flown 12 sorties (54 hours ten minutes), although the statistics given below do not agree with those elsewhere in the document. Since joining this squadron in June, Squadron Leader Bannock has completed four Intruder sorties, one Day Ranger and 14 Anti-Diver patrols and has been outstanding in his keenness for any form of operational flying. On his second operational sortie on the night of 14th June, Squadron Leader Bannock attacked and destroyed a Messerschmitt 110 at Avord airfield. Then, using the burning enemy aircraft as a target indicator, he bombed the airfield with two 500-pound bombs. On July 17th, this officer carried out a long Night Ranger to Leipzig, and in spite of doubtful weather conditions, reached his target area, destroyed an unidentified enemy aircraft at Altenburg and probably destroyed a second. In addition to destroying enemy aircraft, Squadron Leader Bannock has been particularly enthusiastic and successful in shooting down flying bombs at night. Since June 19th this pilot has shot down a total of 16 flying bombs, 15 over the sea and one over land; of these three were destroyed on one patrol on the night of July 3rd and four on July 6th. Squadron Leader Bannock is an excellent officer and has shown much initiative in the planning and execution of his sorties. His personal example and devotion to duty together with his willingness to pass on to crews less experienced than himself the lessons learnt from his sorties against flying bombs, have done much to increase and maintain the high standard of morale not only of the aircrew but of all with whom he has come in contact. | |||

Husband of Katherine Grace. A Crescent Heights High School. At the age of twenty-two, he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and served in Europe and Malta during World War II as a spitfire pilot. On his return home from England, he went on to study civil engineering at the University of Alberta. Upon graduation, he worked briefly as an engineer in Ottawa and after the birth of his second child, came home to Calgary to be closer to his family. He then started to work at Burns and Dutton where he ultimately achieved the position of Chief Engineer of Heavy Construction. In 1959, he formed a partnership with his university friend Ian Campbell. They spent many years doing the work that they both enjoyed, completing many of Calgary’s major construction projects. He was also a skilled curler in his younger years and golfed throughout his life. Lem shared his love of the game of golf with his family and friends at the Earl Grey Golf Club. He had a lifelong passion for literature, theatre and music. He believed in education and actively encouraged and supported his grandchildren in their pursuits, taking pride in their accomplishments. Lem lived life with integrity and care for others, setting an example by his actions. He strongly believed in the potential of all individuals. One defining contribution that exemplified his generous spirit was building, through determination, commitment and expertise, a camp at Gull Lake for people with disabilities named in honour of him. They lived in Victoria for the past four years, where Lem often remarked that “he was pursuing the even tenor of his days”, he and Katherine were able to enjoy the natural beauty of the city. Returning to Calgary, his family felt blessed by time spent together. They had five children, Debbie, Harold, Sharon MacGregor (Ian), George (Nancy) and Tom (Menchie); eight grandchildren, one great grandchild, his remaining siblings, Mary, Kay and Tom and other extended family. He was predeceased by his mother Frances Sarah (née Twamley - died 27th January 1977, age 79), father Lemuel Arthur Wesley (died 01st July 1966, age 86), brother Jack, and sister Winnie. He passed away on the 07th January 2008, age 89. | |||||

Wounded on 1940-09-15 at 15:30hrs. He was shot down in his Hurricane I (V6625) over Shell Haven, Essex by a Bf 109.Retired Feb 1959 as Wing Commander 2010 Born Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, 7 June 1916 “Butch” Barton joined the Royal Air Force at age 19, travelling to England to take a short service commission. He started his career before the war on biplane fighters with 41 Squadron. With the outbreak of the war, Barton joined 249 Squadron flying Hurricanes at RAF Boscombe Down. He became a flight commander with 249 during the Battle of Britain, once bailing from his Hurricane after it was hit from return fire from a Dornier Do 17 bomber. By the end of the Battle of Britain, he was awarded a DFC for his “outstanding leadership”. With 249 Squadron, he also took part on the air war over Malta, adding to the total of his victories. Under Barton’s leadership, 249 Squadron became one of the most respected and lethal units on Malta and in the RAF. By war’s end he was a Wing Commander with 14 victories to his credit. The Battle of Britain London Monument web page says this about Barton: “During his career he had always tried to maintain the highest standards of chivalry, once severely reprimanding an inexperienced colleague who had finished off a damaged German aircraft, killing the pilot as he was attempting to crash-land over England... “Butch” Barton died on 2nd September 2010. His ashes were scattered on his favourite lake in British Columbia on the morning of 15th September, Battle of Britain Day.” | Allied Losses Database Battle of Britain Database |

His remains went missing for decades – until two metal detectorists stumbled across parts of the aircraft wreckage at Blackacre in Theydon Bois, Essex, while looking for Roman coins. Benzie, from Winnipeg, was born on March 14 1915 and educated at St John’s Technical School. He served in Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry for three years prior to joining the RAF on a short service commission and came to England on March 16 1939 on the RMS Aurania. “He was trained by experienced instructors, men like John Betty, who had hundreds of hours in their logbook. “The training was thorough but, in the words of Tom Neil, his near contemporary at Montrose, still harked back to the last war. “He got his wings at Montrose in December 1939 and was commissioned as Pilot Officer. “After further training on Hurricanes he was posted to 242 Squadron at Church Fenton.” The squadron moved to France after the German invasion and he was shot down and baled out near Dunkirk on May 23. After recovering from his wounds, he re-joined the squadron on July 11, right at the start of the Battle of Britain, already a battle-scarred veteran. Benzie took off in Hurricane P2962 on September 7 and never returned from a combat over the Thames Estuary. He was reported missing “but believed to have lost his life”. A cable to his parents John and Agnes Benzie from Winnipeg on September 9 was confirmed by a letter written two days later. “An uncontrolled Hurricane which crashes into the ground from a great height makes a deep crater and at the time, investigating such crashes was not a high priority so Benzie was commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial. “It was not until 1976 that an aircraft archaeology group found the wreck of a Hurricane and the remains of the pilot at a depth of 18 feet underground. “The location, Theydon Bois, Essex, fitted Benzie’s last known position.” “No conclusive evidence to identify the aircraft or the pilot could be found to meet their criteria,” “Almost certainly, they are the remains of Pilot Officer John Benzie. He is remembered on the Runnymede Memorial, Panel 5." Hurricane P2962 failed to return after combat ober the Thames Estuary. Suspected crash site and remains found post war but not positively identified. Runnymede Age 25 | |||

Crashed at Wapenveld Holland | Commemorated Amersfoort (Oud Leusden) General Cemetery, Plot 13. Row 5. Grave 95. Netherlands (Holland). Excavation of crash site in Holland 2014 ![]() Of the crew of seven, only three crew members were officially accounted for, and are buried near Amersfoort. The other four were officially still Missing in Action, and remembered on the Runnymede memorial. However, a war grave at the local cemetery at Wapenveld contains the remains of 2 unidentified crew members that were recovered from the wreck in the weeks after the 1943 crash when the main wreckage was lifted from the canal. Now after 73 years all crew members will have a final resting place: Sgt. Thomas Victor Trollope (tailgunner, age 22), W/O Frederick Henry Blake (pilot, age 26) and WO2 Rodney Webber (gunner, age 21) had been identified in 1943 and are buried in Oud Leusden. Sgt. Philip Henry Eldridge (wireless operator, age 29), Sgt. William David Hawkins (navigator, age 23), Sgt. John Ceredig Jones (bombaimer, age 31) and Sgt. Gerard Stanley Walters (engineer, age 22) had been declared missing in 1943. Unidentified remains of 2 crew members found during recovery operations in 1943 have been buried in Wapenveld since 1943, but did not account for all four crew members. A further investigation and recovery effort shortly after the war did not produce any further remains. The 2014 full excavation did, and the BIDKL was then able to identify all four remaining missing crew members. They will be laid to rest in Wapenveld. The existing memorial headstone to the unknown RAF crewmember(s) that was erected by local villagers will be retained and joined by four CWGC headstones. | Aircrew Deaths Database Allied Losses DT795 |

JA714, piloted by Pilot officer W. P. Cameron, was hit by heavy flak over the Dutch coast and crashed at Waddenzee some 3 kilometres south east of Oosterend on the island of Texel, whilst on a bombing raid to Leipzig, on 20-21 October 1943. This was the first operational loss for the newly formed squadron. All the crew were killed. The attack on Leipzig was the first serious attack on this far-flung city. Weather conditions were described as appalling, and some 16 Lancasters and their crews were lost on this raid. Ground reports on the loss of this Lancaster state that the aircraft exploded in a tremendous fireball parts of which glided down slowly. The aircraft fell and then seemed to regain control at which point it rose up and exploded (possibly its incendiary bomb load blew up). The aircraft came down on the mudflats on Wadden Sea and continued to burn for time. Aircraft returning from the raid reported still seeing it burning. Only one body was recovered, that of Albert Snook, whose body washed ashore on the Terchelling Islands. | Aircrew Deaths Database Allied Losses Database Lancaster JA714 |

Rokker of 1/NJG-2 - 50 km NW of Dusseldorf @0156L X | ![]() After several fitful years in which he failed to find his calling, he was drawn back to the battle in Israel, arriving on Aug. 5, 1948, with other volunteers. He was one of just five Jewish Canadian pilots with WWII experience who served in the young Israeli Air Force. Canter, who in Israel went by his Hebrew name, Zeev, joined the 103 Squadron in Ramat David and primarily flew Dakota planes on bombing and supply missions, The son of Leon and Chava, Wilfred Canter was born in Kiev, Ukraine, on 7th February 1921. When he was five-years-old his parents emigrated to Canada, and settled in Toronto, where he completed elementary and technical high schools. He participated in many flying missions, surviving all of them until 25th October 1948. Soon after a night take-off from Ekron on a supply run to Sdom, his Dakota C-47's right engine begin to overheat. The engine exploded within sight of the airfield, breaking off the wing and sending the plane spiralling into the ground near Kfar Yesodot. Killed with him were two Canadians, co-pilot Fred Stevenson and navigator Willie Fisher. British radio operator Leon Lightman, and Army Liaison Officer Michael Wimers, known as "King of the Negev," were also killed. Buried on 26th October 1948 at the Rehovot cemetery. On 29th September 1948, on orders from the Chief of Staff, he was posthumously promoted to Flight Commander. | Attacker |

United Kingdom. Son of Alexandre and Marguerite Chase-Casgrain; Husband of Lorna Ann Chase-Casgrain. Sergeant Marie-Guy Chase-Casgrain of the RCAF joined No. 242Sqnn. on May 5, 1941. The unit had been formed late in 1939 as a squadron composed of Canadians who had enrolled in the RAF, but since the summer of 1940 replacement personnel had more often been British or European than Canadian. On Sept. 1, 1941, he was engaged in a strike on enemy shipping. A Spitfire of No. 54Sqnn. swooped down and opened fire. Its pilot realized his error and broke away, but his two-second burst had killed Chase-Casgrain. The man making the mistake was FO Edward F.J. Charles, a Canadian who had enlisted in the RAF in May 1939. Charles went on to a distinguished career, earning the Distinguished Service Order, the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar, and United States Silver Star. | Aircrew Deaths Database | |||

670 | Chrysler | Cameron Kent 'Fritz' 'Tubby' | Flt Sgt | ![]() ![]() Monument, Bleskengraaf Holland | PoW | PLT | 109Sqn![]() | Mosquito lV DZ432 HS-N | On May 27, 1943 between 22.30 and 0.00 hour the crew of the DZ432 took off from air base Wyton in England for a Pathfinder mission to bomb Essen. The plane was taking the lead in front of a main force of a huge attack on Essen with a total number of 518 different planes. The task of the Mosquito was to mark the target. The mission was executed by 274 Lancasters, 151 Halifaxes, 81 Wellingtons and 12 Mosquitos. 23 planes were lost, of which the Mosquito was one. This monument was erected to remember navigator Flight Sergeant Ray Hutchings Logan and and pilot Flight Sergeant Cameron Kent Chrysler, both of the Royal Canadian Air Force. In the night of 27 to 28 May 1943 they were shot down by a German night fighter around 01.54 AM. They were on their way home after a target marking mission over the German town of Essen. The next morning, the villagers found the corps of Flt/Sgt Logan in a ditch. Fl/Sgt Chrysler survived the crash and the two were moved to Rotterdam on the same day. The Germans buried Fl/Sgt Logan on the cemetary at Rotterdam Crooswijk. Cameron Kent (Fritz) Chrysler survived the war and returned home safely. 62 Years later on 2 May 2005 he returned to Bleskensgraaf for a short visit. Their plane, a British De Havilland Mosquito Bomber Mark IV registration DZ432 HS-N, exploded high in the sky following which the debris came down scattered over a large area in these surroundings. The remains were cleared by the Germans, but they missed this propeller which was found in the pasture next to the memorial. | Aircrew Deaths Database First person account by C K Chrysler Memorial page to Crew Kracker Luftwaffe Archive: Strüning |

Enlisted on the 04th October 1941. Pilot badge awarded on the 23rd October 1942. Joined 268 squadron on the 21st July 1943. Son of Leonard (died 1th April 1978, age 95) and Ellen Conway (née Thompson - died 31st March 1970, age 87), of East Angus, Province of Quebec, Canada. Posthumous DFC Citation: 'This officer has completed numerous photographic reconnaissance sorties, all at levels below 4,000 feet and some almost ground level. Nearly all have involved deep penetrations within the main enemy fighter areas and all have been within the best range of medium or light anti-aircraft fire. In no case has he had fighter cover or escort. Before the invasion of Normandy, Flying Officer Conway photographed a heavily defended military installation at Le Treport from ground level. Though his aircraft was damaged by the defences he obtained fine photographs. He also secured outstanding pictures of bridges on the Somme.

Baled out of Spitfire I (N3049) over East Grinstead after being shot down by a Bf 109. Killed 1940-10-08 at 09:30hrs. Spitfire I (R6779) was shot down by a Bf 109 near Chatham, crashed at Bayfors Marshes. Upchurch St Mary Churchyard England br>Born November 4, 1919 Saskatchewan Canada. On a family holiday to England he applied to the de Havilland Aircraft Company’s Aeronautical Technical School at Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Joined RAFVR in November 1937. Training at No. 9 Advanced Flying Training School, posted to No. 7OTU at Hawarden, Cheshire, on July 7, 1940 on Spitfires. July 26 reported to 66Sqn at Coltishall, Norfolk. First true combat experience on September 9, 1940, and it was not a pleasant experience. Dodging often heavy rain showers, Pilot Officer Corbett was part of a group attacking German bombers, escorted by enemy fighters, intent on attacking London. After already damaging a Messerschmitt 109, he was positioning his aircraft for a rear attack on a bomber when he was bounced by three German fighters. With the cockpit filling with smoke and the controls jammed, he found himself in a severely damaged, uncontrolled aircraft plummeting toward the ground in a tight spiral dive. At 12,000 feet (3,658 metres), he bailed out, suffering a slight injury in the process. September 27 intercepted German bombers attacking London. In the midst of heavy British defensive fire from anti-aircraft guns below, he got a quick burst into one bomber before breaking off the attack and leaving the damaged enemy aircraft to other RAF fighters. He then selected a lone Junkers 88 as his next target, closed to within yards of the German aircraft, and opened fired. The enemy aircraft fell away, its port engine burning fiercely, but the smoke was so thick that Corbett had to break off the attack. His Spitfire was damaged by friendly fire when an artillery shell burst nearby, destroying one elevator and riddling the fuselage and starboard wing with shrapnel. He skillfully executed a forced landing in the London district of Orpington, emerging from his damaged but repairable Spitfire with a new-found respect for anti-aircraft gunners and a Junkers 88 claimed as destroyed. On October 8, 1940, Pilot Officer Corbett, wearing a new watch sent by his parents as a 21st birthday gift, was climbing with his squadron to intercept yet another formation of German raiders when they were surprised by a large number of Messerschmitt 109s. In a slashing attack, Corbett and one other 66 Squadron pilot were shot down near Bayford Marches, Upchurch; neither pilot survived. The Reverend William Joseph Wright was at his church, St. Margaret of Antioch, and witnessed the dogfight. When Corbett’s aircraft crashed, the clergyman ran to the site, hoping to provide assistance. But “…it was clear, due to the bullet damage around the cockpit, that the pilot had been killed instantly before the crash. I offered prayers and a blessing, and stayed until the body was recovered. The pilot’s own parachute was used as a shroud.” Back in Canada, in a cruel twist of fate, his mother, Mabel, received a letter from her son days after being officially informed that he had been killed. Corbett wrote, “Having got out OK, my confidence has tremendously increased and I want you to be confident also. We’re seeing plenty of action here every day and I’ll be back in the fight tomorrow. The Jerries are a long way from getting supremacy in the air, and until they get it, there’ll be no invasion.” Our heroes of the Battle of Britain clearly understood what they were fighting and sacrificing for. | Profile of George Corbett Battle of Britain Database |

Although PO Cummings had taken the Westland Wallace biplane on the correct route along the Dyce to Evanton leg of the journey, he was too low and, due to poor visibility, was unable to successfully clear Bennachie. The two men, who were the sole occupants of the aircraft, crashed into the hill’s Bruntwood Tap summit and died. Their bodies were found still strapped into their seats. Some of the wreckage of the Wallace remains on the hill to this day, left in honour of their bravery.He and his air gunner, LAC Ronald Stewart, were killed instantly — the second and third Allied servicemen to die in the war. Cummings was the first Canadian to die in the war, and his mother Edith would be the first of more than 45,000 Canadian mothers to suffer the loss of a child to the war in the next five years.

However, he managed a makeshift landing and escaped capture, not without having come under fire from the German soldiers who had come to take him.
We will know later that he was able to escape with the help of the Resistance networks via the Pyrenees and Gibraltar. He will be back in his unit on April 10, 1944 and will resume service combat on May 10. He will then obtain 5 approved aerial victories including 1 in collaboration on a Messerschmitt Me-262, and 1 enemy aircraft damaged. ![]() (Photo: Davenport with his ground crewmen) (Information courtesy Francois Dutil) | Back to Normandy | |

F. 6. United Kingdom. Son Of Clarence Oliver And Gladys Ann Dye, Of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Jack Dye, a brave young bomb-aimer from Regina, Saskatchewan, saved everyone on board his Halifax bomber in this terrifying incident that took place on June 3, 1944 Born in Regina on July 16, 1924. Joined the RCAF on his 18th birthday in 1942, received his commission in July 1943 and went overseas. He flew with 77 Squadron in Elvington, Yorkshire. On June 3, 1944 105 Halifaxes were sent to attack the marshalling yards at Trappes, southwest of Paris, and another sixty-three aircraft to raid coastal gun batteries in the Pas de Calais. The attack was part of the D-Day deception plan. The raid on Trappes was carried out in clear moonlit conditions, and was to prove costly. The German night fighters were able to take full advantage of the clear conditions and they ravaged the Halifaxes. Fifteen were shot down. 158Sqn lost five crews, 76 and 640 lost three each. Flying Officer Doug Morrison from Calgary, Alberta, was pilot of a Halifax Mk111 from 77Sqn. Doug Morrison had reasons to recall the events of that night. “Quite suddenly, as we approached the target area, but while still some distance ahead and below, it became increasingly bright as flares and marker flares exploded into action.” “As we closed in on the target and began our bombing run, we could see aircraft above and below and on both sides of us. The cloud, smoke, flares and markers below us, and the aircraft all around us, presented a most impressive sight.” “A few verbal course commands over the intercom from our bomb-aimer, Flying Officer Jack Dye, and we heard the familiar: ‘Bombs Away!’ We cleared the target and then made a turn to starboard to head for home.” “Suddenly the urgent voice of the rear-gunner, Scotty MacRitchie, shattered the steady drone of the engines: ‘Corkscrew port!’ I responded immediately as tracer laced overhead. We continued evasive action until Scotty gave instructions to level out.” “About two minutes later, there was a blinding flash and an explosion. Smoke, dust and pieces of aircraft flew in all directions. We began to corkscrew to port, but soon realized it was too late for this fighter pass.” “A quick check revealed the port inner engine to be on fire, and a large, gaping hole in the side of the fuselage above the navigator’s table. Our flight engineer, Sandy Moodie, announced that he was shutting down the port inner and activating the fire extinguisher button. The fire was soon out.” “I then initiated a crew check and all replied “okay” except bomb-aimer Jack Dye, who had been hit. Jack was still lying in the bomb-aiming position, so navigator Tommy Melvin assisted him to the rest position aft of the wireless operator’s table.” “A short examination of Jack’s injuries disclosed multiple shrapnel wounds to his legs and back from the cannon shell that had exploded over the top of him. Tommy stopped the bleeding and made Jack as comfortable as he could before returning to his navigator’s position.” “In the meantime, I had adjusted course according to the magnetic compass since the gyro-compass was acting up. A further check of the aircraft revealed that all the flight instruments had been knocked out, and all our charts as well as the navigator’s bag had been sucked out of the hole in the fuselage.” “By this time we had left the brightly-lit target area behind us, and were feeling more comfortable with the darkness all around us as we continued on our northerly heading.” “After a period of time, perhaps thirty or forty minutes, the wounded bomb-aimer asked if we would move him up to the second pilot’s station, which he normally occupied during takeoffs and landings.” “He was moved into the seat beside me just as we emerged from under cloud cover. Above us we could see the stars shining clearly overhead. Jack asked what course we were on, and I replied that we were flying due north by the magnetic compass.” “His quick reply was: ‘We are not flying north, we are going due east! Look, the North Star is directly off our port wing!’ Sure enough, we were heading straight for the heavily-defended Ruhr Valley!” “A rapid calculation by Tommy Melvin based on an estimate of present course, time and speed, indicated that we would need to alter course 120 degrees to port to reach England. This eventually turned out to be very accurate, considering that he had no charts or instruments to work with.” “Eventually, after what seemed like an eternity, we crossed the coastline and before long we saw the welcome shores of England. We knew we would need identification to enter England but our list of ‘colours of the day’ had been lost with the navigator’s bag.” “We fired off several white signal flares as we crossed the coast, hoping our fighters would identify our Halifax as friendly. We broke radio silence to request an emergency landing, and received landing clearance. At least one fighter could be seen following us. The lights came on below us and we began a descent without any flight instruments to guide us.” “As we circled around trying to judge our height, the runway lights came on. This helped, and we lined up for a landing, not knowing our airspeed or height, and flying on only three engines. Our first approach failed, as we came in a bit too high and fast.” “The next approach we got down okay, just stopping as we reached the end of the runway. We later learned that we had landed at West Malling aerodrome, a fighter field with short runways.” “An ambulance rushed up to where we stopped to assist the injured. Jack Dye insisted on walking unaided to the ambulance.” “He turned, saluted, and was then whisked away. We never saw him again.” “He died two hours later – a gallant man who had saved our lives.” (courtesy internationalbcc.co.uk) | Aircrew Deaths Database | |||

United Kingdom. Son Of Frederick James Fife And Eleanor Anderson Fife, Of Youngs Point, Ontario, Canada. B.A. Clerk In Holy Orders. Onboard were were 10 crew and a journalist Fred NanCarrow from the Glasgow Herald, some say he was investigating the death of the Duke of Kent in a sister Sunderland a week previously at Eagle's Rock. After several hours at sea the giant flying boat turned around for home, but it became apparent that there was insufficient fuel to make it back to Oban. Flying Officer F J Fife of the RCAF decided to put down in the water, on the face of it not a major problem for a flying boat, and take on more fuel. At 8.40pm the Sunderland set down in Vane Bay but hit a rock which ripped the bottom out of the aircraft causing it to start sinking. An SOS signal resulted in the Tobermory lifeboat setting out to assist the airmen. At the last known position of the Sunderland, all that was found was clothing floating on the surface. An RAF Hudson spotted a dinghy with one man in it off the north coast of Coll. The lifeboat arived but the only people still alive were Flying Officer M E Russell, the co-pilot and Flight Sgt R B H Scroggs. Fife, William Henderson and William Currie were recovered from the water having drowned, the bodies of Charles Castle (Gunner), Victor Ames (Flt Sgt), Kenneth Page (Gunner), Edward Cowan (Radio operator) were recovered later on having died of exposure. | Aircrew Deaths Database Allied Losses Database W4032 |

Son Of David And Evelyn Frame, Of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Onboard were were 10 crew and a journalist Fred NanCarrow from the Glasgow Herald, some say he was investigating the death of the Duke of Kent in a sister Sunderland a week previously at Eagle's Rock. After several hours at sea the giant flying boat turned around for home, but it became apparent that there was insufficient fuel to make it back to Oban. Flying Officer F J Fife of the RCAF decided to put down in the water, on the face of it not a major problem for a flying boat, and take on more fuel. At 8.40pm the Sunderland set down in Vane Bay but hit a rock which ripped the bottom out of the aircraft causing it to start sinking. An SOS signal resulted in the Tobermory lifeboat setting out to assist the airmen. At the last known position of the Sunderland, all that was found was clothing floating on the surface. An RAF Hudson spotted a dinghy with one man in it off the north coast of Coll. The lifeboat arived but the only people still alive were Flying Officer M E Russell, the co-pilot and Flight Sgt R B H Scroggs. Fife, William Henderson and William Currie were recovered from the water having drowned, the bodies of Charles Castle (Gunner), Victor Ames (Flt Sgt), Kenneth Page (Gunner), Edward Cowan (Radio operator) were recovered later on having died of exposure. | Aircrew Deaths Database Allied Losses Database W4032 |

With coffee and cigarette in hand, hair disheveled and oil stains on his battle trousers. This photo was reputedly taken after Gatward’s final op with 404. Note that his tie has been clipped in honour of the occasion and that it’s possible the cup does not contain coffee as he seeks a refill. (vintagewings.ca) The squadron was formed at Thorney Island in Sussex, England on 15 April 1941 under Royal Air Force operational control. Tasked with coastal patrol and attack, the squadron flew the Bristol Blenheim Mk.IV & later the Beaufighter. From May 1944 to September 1944 they were based at RAF Davidstow Moor in Cornwall, England. As part of the RAF Dallachy strike wing of four Beaufighter-equipped squadrons, they took part in an attack on German ships on the Norwegian coast on 9 February 1945. The ships included a destroyer and flak ships as well as merchantmen. The ships were located in a fjord and German fighter aircraft scrambled in defence. As a result of the heavy losses to the Dallachy Wing the attack was subsequently called 'Black Friday'. The squadron disbanded on 25 May 1945. | Allied Losses Database : incredible caper at Arc de Triomph | |||

Joined postwar RCAF; promoted to Flight Lieutenant, June 1952; posted to Korea that same month; joined 334th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Kimpo Airfield (Seoul), 20 June 1952; flew first sortie on 4 July but saw no enemy aircraft until 26 August 1952, after which he 8 encountered them almost every day. Damaged two MIG-15s on 30 August 1952. On 8 September, flying as No.4 in a flight, he encountered two MIGs. The Sabres closed but MIG evasive action frustrated some; they made a hard-right turn which the No.1 and 2 Sabre pilots could not follow; Glover, in an advantageous position, fired and observed hits. The MIGs dived from 40,000 to 15,000 feet; during a violent pull-up, the No.2 MIG lost control and plunged into ground; Glover pursued the other to the Yalu River. On 9 September, escorting Thunderjets attacking North Korean Military Academy at Sakehu, some 175 MIGs tried to intervene. Six MIGs shot down; Glover claimed one which had been closing on an F-84 when he fired. On 16 September, leading three Sabres, he attacked twenty MIGs, one of which he set on fire. He completed his tour on 12 October 1952 and was struck off strength of Special Force (Korea) 18 October 1952. Had flown 50 missions (71 hours 15 minutes combat time) plus ten hours and five minutes non-combat flying. Medals and logbooks displayed by RCAF Memorial Museum, Trenton, Ontario. See H.A. Halliday, "In Korean Skies", Roundel, December 1963 and January 1964. Died in Belleville, Ontario, 9 September 1991; medals displayed at RCAF Memorial Museum, Trenton. “Flight Lieutenant Glover, while attached to the United States Air Force, 4th Fighter Interceptor Wing, in the Korean theatre, displayed the most commendable aggressive spirit coupled with excellent fighting ability. Because of his above average qualities as a combat pilot he was rapidly promoted to flight leader, and whilst so employed, completed his duties with distinction, valour and merit. During his tour of duty, he destroyed three MIG-15 aircraft and seriously damaged two others. This excellent record not only brings credit to Flight Lieutenant Glover, but has greatly enhanced the reputation of the Royal Canadian Air Force in this theatre.” Air Medal (United States) - 334th Fighter Interceptor Squadron. Date uncertain; under RCAF policies as laid down in 1952, Glover was not permitted to receive this award, as he had also been awarded an American DFC. “Flight Lieutenant Ernest A. Glover distinguished himself by meritorious achievement while participating in aerial combat as a pilot of an F-86 aircraft, 4th Fighter Interceptor Wing, Fifth Air Force, from 4 July 1952 to 29 August 1952. As well as being frequently outnumbered by enemy jet fighters, adverse weather conditions were often a factor which added greatly to the difficulties encountered in successfully carrying out the assigned mission. As a result of his valour, proficiency and devotion to duty on these occasions, he has reflected great credit upon himself, his comrades in arms of the United Nations and the Royal Canadian Air Force.” | Korean War Database | |

Gustavsen’s crew was one of six participating crews from 428Sqn. Wellington X HE174/NA-T took off from Dalton at 1711 hours for Lorient. The crews encountered thick cloud and icing. There was no pathfinder markings, and Gustavsen’s crew bombed by means of a GEE fix, and in spite of the heavy clouds. They reported very concentrated bombing over the target, though the post operation assessment was, that bombing was well scattered. They landed at Harwell at 2235 hours.4–5 February, the crew was one of nine crews from the squadron taking off for Lorient in an all-incendiary attack. A total of 128 aircraft took part in the raid. En route—off the coast near Pleubian—the rear gunner sighted a single-engined enemy aircraft, and the pilot turned to starboard to avoid further contact. The bombing was concentrated, and even before arriving at the target themselves, Gustavsen’s crew could observe a large fire and a column of black smoke from the target area. 7–8 February, further attack on Lorient. Four days later, both crews were briefed for another raid, but Gustavsen’s crew had to abort the operation immediately after take off as the dinghy-cover blew off. 6/17 February, Bomber Command mounted the heaviest attack on Lorient during the war. A total of 466 aircraft including a majority of four-engined heavies were involved and dropped more than 1,000 tons of bombs. Gustavsen’s crew took off in Wellington X HE174/NA-T from Dalton at 1821 hours. They bombed at 2100 hours from 11,000 ft, observing numerous bomb bursts in the target area. The flak was heavier than on previous raid. The crew landed at Topcliffe on 0013 hours. The attack in general caused considerable further damage to the town of Lorient. Later assessment was very little damage to U-boat pens. Attacked Wilhelmshaven night of 19/20 February took off from Dalton at 1752 hrs in Wellington X HE175 NA-E. Poor visibility but many bomb bursts and firesseen in the area. Return to Topcliffe at 0020 hrs. 29th, the crew took off again. A force of some 149 Wellington bombers were to bomb Bochum. The raid as such was a failure as only few buildings in the Bochum were destroyed. Eleven aircraft from 428Sqn participated; Gustavsen’s crew was one of two who failed to return on this night. Wellington X BK564 NA-R took off from Dalton at 1934 hrs, but nothing was heard from the crew after take off. The Wellington crashed near Gelsenkirchen; Gustavsen, Plt Off. Cartier, and Fg Off. Spencer died in the crash. Sgt Rhodes baled out, but died from his injuries on 12 April 1943, and Sgt King became a prisoner of war. Commemorated Reichswald Forest War Cemetery, 18. A. 18.

1562 | Hall | William Churchill | Pilot Officer | ![]() | Killed 1944-03-31 Age | J/89730 | 427Sqn | Halifax LV898 | 01 Feb 44 - | Commemorated Rheinberg War Cemetery, 14. E. 1. Germany. Halifax LV898, piloted by Squadron Leader J. M. Bissett, DFM was detailed to attack Nuremberg, as part of the main force of 795 aircraft, and was shot down by an enemy night-fighter and crashed at Herhahn, 4km north west of Schleiden, on 30-31 March 1944. All the crew were killed. The raid on Nuremberg on the night of 30-31 March 1944 was the blackest night for Bomber Command in the whole of the War, with some 96 aircraft lost. 'The Bomber Command War Diaries' by Martin Middlebrook gives the following account: ‘This would normally have been the moon and stand down period for the main bomber force but a raid on the distant target of Nuremberg (8 hours round trip) was planned on the basis of a forecast predicting protective high cloud on the outward route. 795 aircraft were despatched. The German Controller ignored all diversions and assembled his fighters at 2 radio beacons which happened to be astride the route to Nuremberg. The first night fighters appeared just before the bombers reached the Belgian border and a fierce battle in the moonlight lasted for the next hour. 82 bombers were lost on the outward route. The action was much reduced on the return flight, when most of the night fighters had had to land but 96 bombers were lost in total, the largest Bomber Command loss of the war. The main raid over Nuremberg was a failure, the city was covered in thick cloud and a fierce cross wind which developed on the final target approach made the Pathfinder aircraft move too far to the East, little damage was caused. Subsequent research showed that 120 aircraft had bombed Schweinfurt, 50 miles to the North West of Nuremberg and that there had been a 10 mile ‘creep back’ in the main bombing.’ Three Halifax’s from 427 Squadron were lost in the raid with only two crew members surviving. 'The Nuremberg Raid' by Martin Middlebrook gives additional information onLV898: ‘At least nine flight commanders went missing, all killed. 427Sqn lost both A and B flight commanders- Squadron Leader’s Bissett, DFM, and Laird, DFC both Manitobans. Bissett’s crew had already caused anxiety on the squadron when starting their second tour by their apparent unconcern at the importance of keeping on course and his loss was not unexpected. In fact, Bissett’s Halifax had crashed almost exactly on track south of Aachen.’ | Aircrew Deaths Database Allied Losses Database Halifax LV898 |

He first applied in June 1940 and requested an administrative commission. He was rejected on account of his age (25 at the time). He returned in December, after his birthday, and applied for air crew and was recommended for a commission due to his qualifications even though he was still too young. He was a university professor of maths. With his teaching experience and qualifications, they tagged him for a navigation instructor right away and felt an instructor would have to have rank suited to his role. He received his commission as a pilot officer within the month and was sent off on training to become a navigator instructor. He spent a year at No. 4AOS and then went through some temporary attachments, leading to short stint at No. 31 ANS, then another short stay at No. 1 AOS. All his promotions up to Acting F/L were noted "NFL" for non-flying list, then he was switched to "NAV (SR) General List. He seems to have spent just over a year at the one school and I'm guessing he was teaching having done an instructor's course before that. Then, for some reason, perhaps by request, he made his way off the non-flying list and was assigned to a ferry flight. The a/c, a Mitchell, serial FW138, was lost on the first leg to Greenland. He is mentioned in Ocean Bridge several times. He is described in his interview report as "rugged" so I am thinking he became bored with instructing asked for flying duty but is it possible he was transferred due to a need for navigators? Or was it possibly a one-off flight for experience? His brother, also a maths professor, joined the army and received his commission very quickly. He worked with the research department in Ottawa as a ballistics expert. | Aircrew Deaths Database Archiwum Polish Database Monkiewicz |

Born in Canada in 1916 and went on to serve in modern-day Myanmar and Italy, where he won the DFC for gallantry. Learnt to fly at Halifax Flying Club in Canada before joining the RAF in January 1939. The following year he joined 602Sqn at RAF Westhampnett in West Sussex and he was scrambled on a daily basis. During his service, Sq Ldr Hart helped shoot down a Ju88 fast bomber off the East Sussex coast and a Me109 during a duel in the skies over Kent. There were also several close calls, including one incident when a Ju88 put a hole in his radiator at 20,000ft over the English Channel and he somehow limped back to base.Sqn Ldr Hart said: ‘You didn’t have time to be scared. You’re thinking about what’s going on. ‘I know I have the Battle of Britain medal with a star on it, but I really didn’t have that much to do with it. You were posted to a squadron and you did your job.’ Hart then had a stint as a flying instructor, before commanding 67Sqn in Burma (Myanmar) in 1943 and 112Sqn in Italy in March 1945. He led a formation of fighter planes in a successful attack on a railway line that ran from Italy into Yugoslavia and later a sortie that destroyed 11 transport locomotives. Battle of Britain historian Andy Saunders said: ‘The debt that the nation and the free world owes to those heroes of the 'Few. can never be underestimated and it is terribly sad that the 'Few' are yet fewer. ‘They are our last living link to those desperate days of 1940, but the debt we owe does not lessen or diminish with their passing. ‘In their day, they were a band of brothers.’ David Brocklehurst MBE, chairman of the Kent Battle of Britain Museum, said in 2011: ‘John was the archetypal Battle of Britain pilot; very modest and self-effacing – the epitomy of what they stood for. ‘He should be remembered for his bravery. Many of these men said they were not heroes, just doing their duty, but we see them all as heroes. ‘Sadly they are a dying generation and there are only four of The Few still living. ‘It makes it all the more important that we carry on their legacy as there will be a time when they will no longer be able to do so. ‘What they achieved must never be forgotten.’ | Battle of Britain Database | |

1816 | Howley | Richard Alexander | PltOff | ![]() ![]() ![]() | Newfoundland | 41705 | PLT | 141Sqn![]() | Defiant | Born on April 16, 1920, in Victoria, British Columbia. Education at St. Boniface College in Saint John’s, Newfoundland, and at Colebrook in the United Kingdom. He was only 17 when he started flying lessons with Sir Alan Cobham near Shoreham, Sussex, England, and joined the Royal Air Force (RAF). He was posted to No. 10 Flying Training School at Tern Hill in Shropshire on March 18, 1939, and received his wings on October 7, 1939. On October 28, 1939, Dick was sent to headquarters at RAF Stanmore, and on several occasions flew to RAF Grangemouth to ferry new Bristol Blenheim light bomber aircraft from the factory. At the end of November, Dick crashed a Blenheim at Sealands, in Suffolk, but was not injured. Posted to 141Sqn at RAF Turnhouse in Edinburgh, Scotland on Spitfires. 141Sqn, by then based at RAF West Malling and RAF Hawkinge, was flying the new Bolton Paul Defiant I fighters in early June, 1940, and it was from there that Dick and his squadron took off on July 19. They were attacked by a group of Messerschmitt 109s, and suffered severe losses. His plane was seen on fire, and crashed into the sea, taking with it Howley and his gunner, Sergeant Curley. Their bodies were never found. | Battle of Britian Databasew Bio on RCAF site |

1817 | Hoxford | Fred Carson | Sergeant | ![]() | Killed 1944-05-04 Age | R/219997 | 103Sqn (RAF) | Lancaster ND411 | Commemorated Beauchery Communal Cemetery, Coll. Grave 1-3. France. Lancaster ND411, piloted by Pilot Officer J. E. Holden, was shot down and crashed over Beauchery-St-Martin, whilst on a bombing raid to the German military base at Mailly-Le-Camp, on 3-4 May 1944. All the crew were killed. The Bomber Command War Diaries by Martin Middlebrook states: ‘Late on 3 May 1944, 346 Lancasters of 1 and 5 Groups along with pathfinder Mosquitoes attacked the large German military base at Mailly-Le-Camp. The control of this raid in the target area failed to operate according to plan. The initial low level markers were accurate and well backed up by Lancaster marker aircraft. The Marker leader (Wing Commander G. L. Cheshire) ordered the main force to come in and bomb but the main force Controller (Wing Commander L. C. Deane) could not transmit the order to do so to the waiting Lancasters because his VHF set was being drowned by an American Forces Broadcast and his transmitter was wrongly tuned. German fighters arrived during the delay and bomber casualties were heavy. The main attack eventually started when Deputy Controller (Squadron Leader E. N. M. Sparks) took over. Approximately 1500 tons of bombs were dropped with great accuracy. 114 barrack buildings, 47 transport sheds and some ammunition buildings in the camp were hit; 102 vehicles including 37 tanks were destroyed 218 German soldiers were killed and 156 were injured. Most of the casualties were Panzer NCO’s. There were no French casualties but some were killed when Lancaster ND411 was shot down and crashed on their house.’ This aircraft was homeward after the raid but North of its tracked course. There has been some dispute over French soldier deaths held in the barracks. The Australian Government publication, Invasion to Victory April 1944 to May 1945, states: ‘The people of Beauchery-St-Martin, a little village to the South East of Paris, also had good reason to remember the night of 4-5 May 1944. Rachel De Boisgelin, the American born wife of a local landowner, was woken up by the noise: “Many of us living near were awakened by a tremendous roar of motors, by firing and then the sky was lighted up for miles around by explosions. But at that time the Germans were masters here and anyone who stepped out of a house before five in the morning risked being shot. By the noise and the glow in the sky, when the planes came down the Germans knew what had happened and they were looking at everything before anyone else. It gives me grief to tell these painful details but the planes caught fire which made identification of those who were in them extremely difficult” RAAF Flight Sergeant Clifford Gay was in one of the planes, Lancaster ND411 of 103 Squadron. Two Lancasters came down very near to each other and of the 15 crew only one survived. The remains of the others were placed in five coffins and were buried by the villagers in a collective grave in the Beauchery Communal Cemetery.’ A local teacher, Simone Rustang wrote to the sister of Sergeant James Moore, the flight engineer in ND411: ‘Never has our village seen such a big crowd - 1800 to 2000 people. At that lovely time of the year there were plenty of lilacs and lilies of the valley also tulips and rarer flowers. The five coffins disappeared under the tulips and whilst they were all being taken to their last resting place in this peaceful corner of the cemetery where the grass often grows, we were thinking of their families who might be thinking of them alive somewhere in Europe.’ | Aircrew Deaths Database Allied Losses Database Lancaster ND411 |
