Hi all,

Thanks for your time and help. And anything relevant would be brill.

In the book One Ton Lancs:

on page 45, 3rd column near the bottom. FO E. C. Lobsinger is listed on the crew of Lancaster DV245. This plane flew in 101 squadron.

Great, thanks guys. A great help.

Re: F/O E.C Lobsinger, RCAF
 

His service number was J40415. He was in training in early 1944 so probably went overseas later that year. He was from Ontario, (maybe Stratford??).

It’s a great surname!

Re: F/O E.C Lobsinger, RCAF
 

He is listed on this website:

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org...h-101-squadron



Search for "Lobsinger".

Re: F/O E.C Lobsinger, RCAF
 

He's mentioned in Vol. 2, 1942 of the magazine Canadian Air Cadet as member of 19 (Stratford) Squadron. No first name here either...

Hi Danny,

I found him twice in my database about the BC missions to Chemnitz.
He flew in the crew of F/L Robert Arthur Andrew, Lanc I, DV407, SR-R2, No. 101 Sqdn.

Best wishes,
René

Danny,
Looks like your man is Elmer Cletus Lobsinger, NCO service number possibly R155310, commissioned 14/1/44 as a navigation officer, notice in The Canada Gazette dated 26/2/44.
Regards, Mark.

Re: F/O E.C Lobsinger, RCAF
 

That would appear to be him. He was born in 1923 in Hanover, Ontario to Amaline "Emily" Mary Ann Craig, age 23, and Michael Joseph Lobsinger, age 28. The family was in Stratford by 1926.

Elmer Cletus Lobsinger married Maureen Ireland in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, in 1945 when he was 22 years old. They lived in Hamilton, Ontario and raised 3 daughters and a son.
Maureen died in Hamilton in 1990. Elmer died in Hamilton, (date not found but apparently after 2012).
