for which we are grateful. Please contact us via our Helpdesk if you have additional information or images.
"Conversion from the original data held as images of old teletype sheets must have taken Major Paradie years.
The Paradie database is as close to a treasure as the World will see.” François Dutil
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.

Our hosting service imposes a 4-character search minimum for database tables. We have modified our databases to support 3-character name searches.

Add 'x' to 3-character name: e.g. to search for 'coe' put 'coex' in search box, for 'fox' put 'foxx'.

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'

Son of Robert Hawley Wagner (died 14th January 1950, age 57) and Ida Beryl Wagner (née Lazier - died in 1971, age 78), of Napanee, Ontario, Canada. His older brother, Richard, was two years older. The family lived in North Hollywood while their father, Bob, worked for Warner Bros. The entire family - Billy's uncles and cousins - were in the motion picture business. Richard joined the US Army in 1942, but Billy was living in Napanee by the end of the 1930’s when his parents moved back to their original home. He joined the Royal Bank of Canada, and, as you know, joined the RCAF on November 30th, 1942, against his parents wishes. The only personal titbit about Billy in the RCAF was told to me by his brother many years ago. Billy flew a total of 11 missions, but each mission was exceedingly difficult for him to fly. He admitted to his brother, while they were on leave in New York City in 1944, that he faked illness to get out of one mission. Apparently this was not uncommon among bomber crews. The last thing he told his brother before he parted was that he believed he was never coming back. It was the last time Richard saw his brother. Billy was declared missing in action. His parents never knew of his fate, although they firmly believed he was alive, until he was officially declared killed in action in December 1945. 10 Operations - with 53.10 operational flying hours logged.

Commenced operations on 13 December, bombing bridge 286 at Nakorn Chaisri, On 1 January 1945 they bombed the Bangkok railway bridge at Anakwin, and two days later attacked Bridge 19 on the Burma-Siam Railway. Killed in action during this operation when Liberator KH214 was shot down and crashed into dense jungle. All the crew were killed. The Squadron O.R.B. states: ‘Aircraft “D” at 1335 hours at 400 feet was seen to be hit by bursting LAA and crashed just NE of the bridge at Milestone 37.’ Eddie Gilbert, one of the pilots who was on the raid: “I saw Brodie crash you know. Three of us went after the same bridge and a locomotive stopped halfway across. It was in a valley, steep hills on both sides. We were five hundred feet, lower than the hills, Wallace the Fiji guy, went in first. Steve followed him and I was right behind. There were gun positions on the hills, both sides of the bridge. They hit Wallace, then they got Steve, hit his number 4. I could see the flames. Steve and Murray did a good job, everything they could, jettisoned the bombs, got the prop feathered, as fast as anyone could. They tried to climb but there wasn’t room. Hit the top of a hill just one big explosion”.’	Aircrew Deaths Database Allied Losses Database Liberator KH214 Archive Report KH214

Crashed at Wapenveld Holland	Commemorated Amersfoort (Oud Leusden) General Cemetery, Plot 13. Row 5. Grave 96. 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.

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

The bomber with a crew of 6 and 2 ground crew had taken off for a local training fight from its home base at RAF.Leeming heading south. The crew carried out all of the requirements of the flight including a 'George' test and turned for home but poor weather had closed in over the hills losing sight of the ground. The crew called for a fix from Leeming which they received. They tried to also get a visual with the ground which sadly led to the bomber impacting the high ground of Beamsley Beacon on low boggy ground behind the hill top . Bursting into flames the bomber broke up. Crew: Killed includes Conley (Pilot): Cpl. William John Ellis RCAF R/153918 (AG) passenger KIFA. Flying Officer Wallace Ewing Lang RCAF J/43946 (BA).

4380	Kirby	James Burton	F/O			KIFA.				FE	420Sqn (RCAF)	Halifax NA184	5 Mar 1945 - Iced up and crashed. Extreme weather conditions over the Vale of York saw a large number of the bombing force ice up. Some fell out of the sky in flat spins. The pilot probably ordered the crew to bale out. 3 three of them escaped but 2 sustained serious injuries, probably having baled out too low. At 16.50hrs NA184 crashed near Marrow Flatts Farm, Copt Hewick, on the Ripon side of Dishforth airfield. The remaining 4 crew were either killed in the crash or had baled out too low.

4381	Main	R B				Injured				Pilot	26OTU	Wellington X3924	1943-11-06	Wellington LN 295 took off from RAF Lichfield for an evening cross-country training. At 2208 hours when flying on a south easterly course at an altitude of 16,000 feet, the aircraft collided with Wellington aircraft X 3924 (Sergeant R B Main (RCAF) (Pilot)) from 26 OTU flying on a north easterly course at the same altitude. Both machines crashed near the main gate at RAF Alconbury not far from the village of Abbots Ripton. Both Pilots had been distracted and saw each other too late to avoid a collision. The pilot of X 3924 pushed the control column forward, causing his tail unit to come into collision with LN 295 on the starboard side in the forward part of the aircraft near the pilot’s cockpit. X 3924 then developed an uncontrolled steep spiral dive to port, which finally resulted into an inverted spin, throwing the pilot through the roof of the cockpit. The aircraft continued to dive at very high speed and it disintegrated due to stress on the airframe. It would have been extremely difficult for the crew to abandon the aircraft, although the Captain had ordered abandon. LN 295 went into a dive from which the pilot was unable to recover. He gave orders to abandon the aircraft, but the inter-com was useless and the call light could not be found. He did not know whether any of the crew had received the order to bale out. The pilot was injured in the collision and finally baled out at 7,000 feet. Both pilots wore their chutes. Five of the crew in LN 295 were killed, Heffernan was injured. Five (three RAF and two RCAF) crew members from X 3924 were killed and the Pilot was injured.	Full details non-Canadians are here: Allied Losses & Incidents X3924
