DUPLICATES EXIST IN THIS DATABASE
We have integrated entries from several databases in the Paradie Archive and as a result there may be more than one entry for a given individual. To ensure you read all the data we have on a person, use the Service Number (without the prefix J/ P/ R/ etc.) to perform a further search for more information on that person.
DATA ALIGNMENT IN PROCESS OF BEING ADJUSTED
Owing to problems with encoding methods, some records require manual adjustment to bring data elements within the record into alignment. This is a lengthy and ongoing process. If the record you are looking at is hard to read, it means we have yet to make the appropriate manual adjustments, so send us a message via the Helpdesk and we will correct that record.
SEARCHING ON SERIAL NUMBERS
Most records were originally encoded with aircraft serial numbers in the format AB 123. The standard is to use the format AB123. We have a long term project underway to change all serial numbers to the standard form, but with 50,000+ records this is a long process.

If you would like our team to research a family member or friend who appears in this database, contact us via the Helpdesk. We will send you instructions.

If you need help, EMAIL us with name and database to search and we will perform the search manually for you.
To search on squadron, append 'Sqn'. Examples: '72Sqn' or '416Sqn'

15	Bellos	Anthony William	F/O			Baled out Uninjured	Born 1916-07-29 in South Fort George,	J	35586	BA	433Sqn (RCAF)	Lancaster B Mk 1 NG460 BM-A	1945-02-01 - Took off from RAF Skipton on Swale at 15.23hrs to bomb Ludwigshafen. Bombed target at 19.28hrs but hit by flak which damaged the front turret. The navigation equipment failed but they got a fix to return to Yorkshire. The weather as they approached base was poor and the aircraft encountering severe turbulance. The aircraft lost and then gained height and airspeed a few times in quick succession resulting in everyone in the aircraft who was not strapped being thrown about. The aircraft was flying at around 3,000 feet when the pilot ordered his crew to abandon the aircraft probably fearing he was losing control, two baled out and landed safely. Before anyone else could get clear the aircraft crashed at 23.20hrs into a field near Throstle Nest Farm, between Asenby and Cundall, to the north east of Dishforth. The remaining five members of the crew died as a result of the accident.	(Information courtesy Francois Dutil) These were the first casualties sustained by 433 Sqn in 1945 and it was also their first Lancaster write off. Three more would be lost before the end of the war , from which no-one survived ". . . Got prepared for 7 Lancs from each sqdn toting no less than 1 -4000 pounder &14 five hundred pound incendiaries all the way to Ludwigshafen . . . when they returned poor old Squadron Leader Stinson was missing in 433 A Able. We had seen flames of a crash in the distance but hadn't figured out it was one of ours. Nonetheless it was Stinson who had piled in over near Dalton in a terrific smash-up. Two of the crew bailed out in time but the other 5 bought it. Fri Feb 2: Got up bright and early to rush over and investigate this latest crash. What a horrible mess it was. It looked like he was in a power dive when he went into the deck at about a 30 degree angle & there sure wasn't much left. Three of the 4 engines were buried in the mud out-of-sight with only the tip of one prop blade showing. The fourth engine had been torn out & was burst open along side. Part of the kite had skidded forward & set fire to a farmer's haystack which was still burning when I got there. It was a pretty grisly sight . . . They had enough parts together to make up approximately four bodies but one is still missing in the wreckage somewhere. The only explanation about why it piled in was from the story of the two crew members who bailed out. They were badly shot up with flak over the target & it is thought his controls must have suddenly given way. Courtesy Squadron Leader A. Ross Dawson, the Chief Technical Officer with 424/433 Sqns, caspir.warplane.com He enlisted for RCAF service in 1941 and while serving in the UK he married Patricia Bassett in Middlesex before returning to Canada after the War as a couple.

Bombed target at 19.28hrs but hit by flak which damaged the front turret. The navigation equipment failed but they got a fix to return to Yorkshire. The weather as they approached base was poor and the aircraft encountering severe turbulance. The aircraft lost and then gained height and airspeed a few times in quick succession resulting in everyone in the aircraft who was not strapped being thrown about. The aircraft was flying at around 3,000 feet when the pilot ordered his crew to abandon the aircraft probably fearing he was losing control, two baled out and landed safely. Before anyone else could get clear the aircraft crashed at 23.20hrs into a field near Throstle Nest Farm, between Asenby and Cundall, to the north east of Dishforth.

It looked like he was in a power dive when he went into the deck at about a 30 degree angle & there sure wasn't much left. Three of the 4 engines were buried in the mud out-of-sight with only the tip of one prop blade showing. The fourth engine had been torn out & was burst open along side.

141	Pierson	Roy	P/O			KIA		J	92192	AG	433Sqn (RCAF)	Lancaster B Mk 1 NG460 BM-A	1945-02-01 - Took off from RAF Skipton on Swale at 15.23hrs to bomb Ludwigshafen. Bombed target at 19.28hrs but hit by flak which damaged the front turret. The navigation equipment failed but they got a fix to return to Yorkshire. The weather as they approached base was poor and the aircraft encountering severe turbulance. The aircraft lost and then gained height and airspeed a few times in quick succession resulting in everyone in the aircraft who was not strapped being thrown about. The aircraft was flying at around 3,000 feet when the pilot ordered his crew to abandon the aircraft probably fearing he was losing control, two baled out and landed safely. Before anyone else could get clear the aircraft crashed at 23.20hrs into a field near Throstle Nest Farm, between Asenby and Cundall, to the north east of Dishforth. The remaining five members of the crew died as a result of the accident.	(Information courtesy Francois Dutil) Commemorated: HARROGATE (STONEFALL) CEMETERY Sec. H. Row F. Grave 7. Epitaph: IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR BROTHER WHO DIED GALLANTLY FOR ALL HE HELD DEAR. Son of Harmon Dudley and Annie Marie Pierson, of Taber, Alberta, Canada. These were the first casualties sustained by 433 Sqn in 1945 and it was also their first Lancaster write off. Three more would be lost before the end of the war , from which no-one survived ". . . Got prepared for 7 Lancs from each sqdn toting no less than 1 -4000 pounder &14 five hundred pound incendiaries all the way to Ludwigshafen . . . when they returned poor old Squadron Leader Stinson was missing in 433 A Able. We had seen flames of a crash in the distance but hadn't figured out it was one of ours. Nonetheless it was Stinson who had piled in over near Dalton in a terrific smash-up. Two of the crew bailed out in time but the other 5 bought it. Fri Feb 2: Got up bright and early to rush over and investigate this latest crash. What a horrible mess it was. It looked like he was in a power dive when he went into the deck at about a 30 degree angle & there sure wasn't much left. Three of the 4 engines were buried in the mud out-of-sight with only the tip of one prop blade showing. The fourth engine had been torn out & was burst open along side. Part of the kite had skidded forward & set fire to a farmer's haystack which was still burning when I got there. It was a pretty grisly sight . . . They had enough parts together to make up approximately four bodies but one is still missing in the wreckage somewhere. The only explanation about why it piled in was from the story of the two crew members who bailed out. They were badly shot up with flak over the target & it is thought his controls must have suddenly given way. Courtesy Squadron Leader A.

Two of the crew bailed out in time but the other 5 bought it. Fri Feb 2: Got up bright and early to rush over and investigate this latest crash. What a horrible mess it was. It looked like he was in a power dive when he went into the deck at about a 30 degree angle & there sure wasn't much left. Three of the 4 engines were buried in the mud out-of-sight with only the tip of one prop blade showing. The fourth engine had been torn out & was burst open along side. Part of the kite had skidded forward & set fire to a farmer's haystack which was still burning when I got there. It was a pretty grisly sight . . . They had enough parts together to make up approximately four bodies but one is still missing in the wreckage somewhere. The only explanation about why it piled in was from the story of the two crew members who bailed out. They were badly shot up with flak over the target & it is thought his controls must have suddenly given way. Courtesy Squadron Leader A.

252	Zareikin	Joseph M.	Pilot Officer			Killed 1944-10-05 Age 36	Los Angeles USA		C/88488	A/G	433Sqn RCAF	Halifax NP944		Commemorated Harrogate (Stonefall) Cemetery, Sec. G. Row A. Grave 14. United Kingdom. Son Of David And Pola Zareikin, Of Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. His Brother Samuel Also Died On Service. Air/Gnr. Son Of David And Pola Zareikin, Of Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. His Brother Samuel Also Died On Service. Halifax NP944 was one of 10 engaged in moonlight mine-laying operations off Heligoland and was attacked by an enemy JU-88 night fighter aircraft. Pilot Officer Zareikin was killed during the attack and was the only casualty. The mid-upper gunner, P/C. Cochrane of Jackson, Michigan, USA. shot the enemy aircraft down when it made its next attack. The pilot, Flying Officer W.T. Watson of Toronto, Ontario managed to make a crash landing of the badly damaged aircraft at the Ford aerodrome, England. On 1944-10-05, Squadron Leader A. Ross Dawson, the Chief Technical Officer with 424/433 Sqns at Skipton on Swale, wrote in his diary: "433 Squadron were on a mining or "gardening" effort today with 10 kites. Things went very smoothly & we got them all off in good time. The weather closed in here however later on & we couldn't get them back so 8 were diverted to Tholthorpe and 2 went to Carnaby. M-Mike of 433 was badly shot up with a night fighter & is a cat B. The tail gunner had his head blown off with a 20mm cannon explosive shell. However the MU gunner claimed the JU88 as a "probable" so we hope he knocked it down Ok."	Aircrew Deaths Database
