This summer I'm going to Sage War Cemetry to visit an airman killed on his first mission. I know his name, rank, date killed. But have been unable to track down crew members, mission etc. Any help would be invaluable. Thank you.

What can you tell me about this gentleman who piloted the Wellington and Lancaster bombers that my Dad flew in? Any info at all would be helpful; especially copy of his Flight Logbook because where he flew, my Dad also flew as Rear Gunner.

as Ricky7 has not visited since July 3. And I have left a whiteboard message on the profile, could a forum moderator please send an email to make Ricky7 aware of my replies to the DFC post. There is a big story developing on the crew of Bitter Sweet and I will one day post it with photos and documents.
