Re: 1 Sqn Hurricane I
 

Thank you Chris.

If you have more infos, I will be happy to have it.

It is incredible, but there is nothing written about him in France.

I met his brother, 2 years ago near Dijon, he has nothing about him, the only thing he was in England as pilot. he doesn't know if he was Free French or he was enlisted directly in the RAF.

How to see the future if you don't keep the memory of the past....

Thank you again Chris.

Re: 1 Sqn Hurricane I
 

So when did he join the squadron?

Re: 1 Sqn Hurricane I
 

197 Squadron site has entry Sgt R Bokobza, 11/42 killed 14/2/43.

I'm afraid I can't add any more to what Franek has stated.

Re: 1 Sqn Hurricane I
 

Thanks, Chris - found him - & that he was a P/O in my time. See my PM.

Re: 1 Sqn Hurricane I
 

Do you think, if it will be possible to find a photograph of R. Bokobza?

Only from a 1cm thumbnail in Jimmy Kyle's Typhoon Tale.

PS I note that 197 Sqn's site has Bokobza as both Sgt & Flg Off. I took the Plt Off from Jimmy Kyle's book.
